Let’s Ignore

April 26, 2021 / David Valade / Leave a comment

Let's ignore just for one moment, race. I'm not saying it doesn't matter. But remove it from your thoughts for a moment. Let's ignore that a man didn't have a gun.

A Thought About Justice

April 3, 2021April 3, 2021 / David Valade / Leave a comment
