Kobe/George Floyd by Marilyn J. Simons

Kobe was a black basketball star, a tragic accidental loss. But he belongs to the time before. George was an ordinary black citizen, unknown until his death made headlines. He belongs to this time. Now George has reinvigorated a movement, his one voice made into millions. Two black men, one who made it, and one who is remaking the world. We will come out on the other side. Who will we be? Stronger, nicer? Weaker, meaner? They say change is good. A pandemic sweeps through indiscriminately--leaving, what? Broken hearts, but also new realizations and appreciations. What will you be?
