My Personal Reflection Following the Week of June 1, 2020

In the past week my understanding of  the overt and systemic racism  Black Canadians and Americans continue to face has increased exponentially. I have been very privileged to have led a life which has been free of  the prejudice, distrust, profiling and other expressions of racism that millions of citizens have faced throughout their entire lives. That millions continue to face today.

What can I do?  

Every single day, these questions will form my interactions with others:

                        Did I listen?

                                 Did I speak up when I should? 

                                                                    Was I kind?  

                                                                                Did I look beyond myself? 

Take care of each other,

Myra
