“If you are black, then
George Floyd is your brother,
your uncle, your father, your son
But even if you aren’t,
George Floyd is still closer than you think.
He is the warm smile you encounter
on your morning commute.
He’s the neighbor that waves
when he drives by.
He’s the person whose hard work
makes your life that much easier.
George Floyd is a member of your community.
George Floyd is your friend.”
