The world is watching as the United States confronts the systemic and institutional racial realties of this nation with anger, rage and grief. Our situation is rooted in our history of slavery, racism and inequality in our political and economic systems. With hope, we are acknowledging this time in our history as a turning point. We see opportunities to turn the tide of racism and its violent outcomes, and begin a new era of equity and inclusion."
