to life, nor will it undo centuries of harm against Black Americans. Instead, this is a reminder that we must continue in our pursuit of justice. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Center, Minnesota. Days later, Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old Latino boy, was killed by police in Chicago. After all of us watched the video of George Floyd’s killing, after protests and calls for change, police violence against Black and Brown Americans continues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
