Like you, my wife Chris and I were shocked, appalled, and deeply saddened by the horrific death of George Floyd. Ours is a nation of laws, and this terrible act of violence must not go unpunished. I am acutely aware that many of our colleagues have experienced racism or other forms of discrimination. This is unacceptable, which is why I am searching for what I can do personally, and what we can do as a Mission, to help end the continued cycle of racism and injustice in our country.
