I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed on to the commission meeting on Monday.
While I am an ardent supporter of Black Lives Matter, but as someone who lives a life of"white privilege", I feel very inadequate to speak any sort of wisdom to the situation....so I
came with an open heart and mind to listen and learn. As I did listen I realized how veryshallow my "wokeness" really is.
I have to admit, I was worried about what your (the commission/staff) response might be. But
the humility and compassion that I sensed from all of you was impressive and made me proudand grateful to be a member of this community. I signed off from that meeting with hope that
peace and progress toward a just society might just be possible.
Thank you for your willingness to speak openly about our need as a community to addressissues of inequality.
Gratefully
