George Floyd was murdered a year ago today, and we still have a lot of work to do in order to resolve the systematic racism and police brutality in our country.
But one thing that I’ve noticed that makes me really hopeful is the changing attitudes of individuals. More people are standing up and calling for change, more people are trying to be anti-racist instead of just being not racist. I personally have noticed a lot more awareness of racism from the people around me - and a willingness to call this out.
We’ve got a long way to go to justice, but individual realizations are the first step to change, and I think we’ve had a lot of them in the past year. So thank you to everyone who has been combating racism and fighting to ensure that no more people suffer the same fate of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
Y’know what still gets me?
This, right here.
All in the same final moment, experiencing the same final event, yet each focused on something different.
Amy looking at the channel about to be deleted, making sure the cursor is properly placed.
Ethan looking at the clock, making sure it happens at just the right moment.
And Mark, as always, holding his gaze toward the camera, wordlessly bidding a final farewell.
One eye on the cursor.
One eye on the clock.
One eye on the camera.
All eyes on the screen...
As it goes black.
What a year.
