Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe Floyd/Chauvin verdict is very important, and I believe Chauvin will be found guilty, but
it is just the beginning. There are countless other cases and ongoing injustices. It is my hope
that a guilty verdict will be a watershed moment in the struggle for racial equality. More than
ever, young people are aware of the injustice inherent in society.
I believe we will be happy tonight, but the struggle will not be over. Maybe in another
generation when some of the old bigots die off.

to be bigots, and it's enough to make you puke.
