Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

The following was created by the daughter of a friend. In the midst of our nation’s confrontation with the “original sin” of racism, she deliberated on the facts behind the deaths of many Black people. She considered how she, as a young white woman, could easily do what they had done without being murdered. I find it compelling. We wanted to share it with you.<\/p>\n

If you click on the highlighted names, it will take you to Facebook pages others have written about these horrid deaths. You don’t need a Facebook account to access the pages.<\/p>\n
