I have a dream… It’s so easy to dream and so hard to make the impossible come true, which is what has been happening in this country for over 400 years. The greatest tragedy is that George Floyd’s and Rayshard Brooks’ lives will not transform how police treat black people and end up being in vain.

While I see hope that change will finally happen, the past tells us not to be overly optimistic. As the king of silver linings, I can see great things happening as a result of the gross injustices we have seen but part of me has to wonder whether Dwight Howard’s heart was not right that now is a moment in history that cannot be wasted.
