This Sunday, I’m thinking about the inspiring words of the great John Lewis, "You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone – any person or any force – dampen, dim or diminish your light."

Replying to @ShawnBrown__
I was attempting to explain all of this to my son last night. He sees the anguish, my fear, pictures of city ash. My 7 yr old tells me, “Dad everything will be ok. As long as the family stays together, everything will be ok.” I too choose love. There is no justice without it

I am heartbroken and disgusted to see one of my family members a young black man w/his hands up peacefully protesting and an NYPD officer pulls down his mask and pepper sprays him. @NYCSpeakerCoJo @BPEricAdams @FarahNLouis @JumaaneWilliams @NewYorkStateAG @NYPDShea cc: @EOsyd

I hope this is difficult for you to watch and listen to. We are living in a moment in time & history will be told of what WE did in time. This isn't happening 50 years ago or in a faraway place. This is America 2019 folks. Shame on us!
