The national outpouring of anger and frustration triggered by the killing of George Floyd by police reveals an urgent need today:  we need many more leaders who will bring people together. President Donald Trump’s brutal, racist words and actions in response to the resulting protests have tried to divide people even further than they already are, American against American.  I commend Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s efforts now, in welcome contrast, to begin a state-wide community conversation about new policies to improve racial justice here in New Mexico. That’s how we make progress as the human race.
