Something inspiring and uplifting for y'all because I know you need it:

This is from last May. A music major at Portland State was singing the National Anthem in Portland's park blocks for a recording for a virtual commencement ceremony when an African American man walked up and asked if he could sing with her. Turns out he sang with the Portland opera. This was unrehearsed. She didn't know when he was going to join her in singing. It is beautiful and heartwarming.
