A night America should never forget. Our people are hurting, they have been for hundreds of years, and yet we continue to value property over lives. Minneapolis said with a clear voice last night that enough is enough. George Floyd is dead, you can rebuild stores and replace merchandise, but you cannot bring back a life. Martin Luther King Jr. said that a riot is the language of the unheard, well are you listening now America?

We can’t return to normal because normal means continuing to terrorize communities of colour and that is unacceptable. No justice, no peace should be common sense so let’s not act shocked by these pictures, instead let’s see the pain being expressed and do something about it.

“New York is constantly reinventing itself, but at the same time, it stays the same. People just have so much going on. There’s an anonymity here, because people are just trying to get on with their lives. And I’ve always liked that.”
