I have known Larry and Corrie since our early twenties. I know what good people they are, the love they have for their family. I cannot imagine the pain their family feels.
How many mothers can share these experiences?
As a mother I cannot imagine, no matter the age of my child. I think of all of the mothers worrying tonight, mothers of black children, mothers of police personnel, mothers of business owners. This shouldn’t have had to happen.
I know that the riots of this weekend are tragic and heartbreaking and will cause wounds that will last for years to come. I think we have to acknowledge that the trajectory of the path forward was untenable.
Our black fellow citizens cannot be expected to live in a state of such racial disparity. We need to listen, and again, acknowledge that time and again their voices have been ignored.
I am not going to debate in comments. I realize many have strong feelings. I am sharing mine.
