After the tragic deaths of Breanna Taylor, George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, I was encouraged by workplace conversations. A coworker asked me how I was doing. Reflecting on the question, I realized how angry I was. A child of the sixties, I was appalled that recent events suggested we had achieved minimal progress regarding the collective rights of African Americans. At the same time, I thought the country might be at a turning point because I was discussing these events… at work… with white people! But in reality, nothing has changed through whites’ acknowledgment of the horror of these murders.
