By Kathy Manning This past week, we watched another unarmed black man murdered in broad daylight by white police officers in a frighteningly callous and brutal way. The sheer cruelty in that video was gut wrenching. For so many who have lived with the daily reality of racism, the murder of George Floyd is only the latest manifestation of a history of racism in this country -- racism that has infected law enforcement, housing, healthcare, food security, education, and employment. Too often, too many act as if black lives don't matter. They do. It is long past time for us to confront racism. We must call it out for what it is, we must educate ourselves and others, and we must do the tough work necessary to make systemic changes to confront the legacy of the original sin of our country and make amends. Protests have erupted throughout the country, as many have stood up to say: enough is enough. This pain and outrage comes at a time when so many are already struggling with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, an intersection amplified by the disproportionate impact of the virus on communities of color. During the day, we've seen inspiring, peaceful, and powerful protests across our great state. But as night falls, small numbers of agitators damage property and loot local businesses, many of which were already struggling under shutdowns due to COVID-19. This damage includes the iconic International Civil Rights Museum here in Greensboro. As George Floyd's brother said this week, looting and property damage must end. We must focus on policy changes to bring an end to racial injustices that have plagued our country for generations. This is a time for leadership. Donald Trump has shown himself incapable of providing the leadership this country needs, instead inciting fear, chaos, and division. Tonight, after he declared himself "the President of Law and Order," military troops tear-gassed peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park so that Trump could get a photo op in front of St. John's Episcopal Church. DC Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde denounced Trump's actions and his use of the church as a prop. In the absence of national leadership, we must look within our communities to be the change required for this moment. That's why I am working with community leaders to create a Community Pledge to Not Stand Silent, a commitment shared by community leaders across the Triad to step up and commit to taking action. In a final note, I want to leave you with some of the pieces that have moved me this week: a meaningful editorial by Eugene Robinson, a video by Trevor Noah of The Daily Show, and an op-ed by Representative Val Demings, former Orlando Police Chief. I will continue to share messages, stories, and resources on how we can tackle the hard, uncomfortable work ahead. This is a time for us to come together as a community, a state, and a nation.
