@FSBarry arrived on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. The central question: How can you celebrate a new year when the old one won’t die, and when breaking bread with family can be impossible?

Pittsburgh’s 10.27 Healing Partnership was formed in the aftermath of the shooting at Tree of Life synagogue that killed 11 people, wounded six, and shook the nation.
The mission is to support those affected by the shooting or any hate-induced trauma https://trib.al/EyXok6f ">https://trib.al/EyXok6f&q...

One of the topics they focus on is code switching:
“The Black members of the board really walked through, step by step, what it meant for them individually to code switch throughout their life … it’s eye-opening for some of the Jewish members.” https://trib.al/EyXok6f ">https://trib.al/EyXok6f&q...

Throughout the summer, Ayanna Jones talks to her young gardeners about Black history, about Paul E. Williams, Dr. Charles Drew, Garnett Morgan.

One of her early students was Antwon Rose, a 17-year old who was shot dead by a police officer in 2018.
On the day George Floyd was killed, she said “we sat at the tent and those kids expressed some of the most profound statements, emotions and feelings” https://trib.al/EyXok6f ">https://trib.al/EyXok6f&q...

“I’ve been a Black Panther, I’ve been in the Black Liberation Army. I have lived through Emmett Till being killed all the way up to George Floyd, and I don’t see any progress.”
But she adds: “I did see participation by White folks that I never saw before” https://trib.al/EyXok6f ">https://trib.al/EyXok6f&q...

When asked why the killing of George Floyd touched such a nerve with White people, former Philadelphia mayor @Michael_Nutter said:
“I just don’t know that many people have actually watched somebody die” https://trib.al/EyXok6f ">https://trib.al/EyXok6f&q...
“I just don’t know that many people have actually watched somebody die” https://trib.al/EyXok6f ">https://trib.al/EyXok6f&q...
What took so long? Nutter makes two points:
1. The persistence of segregation in housing, education and employment
2. It& #39;s difficult to discuss race. “Other than talking about money, there’s possibly nothing more uncomfortable than talking about race” https://trib.al/EyXok6f ">https://trib.al/EyXok6f&q...

. @Michael_Nutter echoes Jones’s view:
“Here’s the deal: The only people who can really do anything about racism in the U.S. are White people. Black people can’t really do much about that. So they have to decide how much change they’re willing to push for” https://trib.al/EyXok6f ">https://trib.al/EyXok6f&q...
