It was a beautiful day in Fredericksburg, Virginia today. The sun was shining and the clouds that briefly floated overhead were not responsible for the gloom settling over many of us.

It was everything else going on in the world. I don’t have anything more intelligent to contribute to this conversation, but I know I can’t stay silent. What should I be doing and saying to help the black community? Signing petitions doesn’t feel like enough.

What are you doing? How are you feeling?
