We stand with Black Lives Matter. We deplore the shocking killing in Minnesota police custody of George Floyd on Monday May 25, 2020. Our hearts go out to his family and friends — and to all African Americans and people of color who have endured generations of trauma and suffering through overt and structural racism.
