I was saddened to hear about the shootings and death of two African Americans, one in Minnesota and the other in Louisiana, which led to a nationwide protest and the shootings of police officers in Texas. It was a tragic event that cost the lives of 5 officers and the injury of seven others.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families and friends. Let us take a moment to pray for peace and comfort to those who have lost friends and families through this tragic event.
Our black brothers and sisters have influenced our lives and cultures in so many wonderful and beautiful ways.
