Since the first cases of Covid 19 were identified in the US-- just four months ago, people of color have suffered the greatest number of infections and deaths. The global health pandemic, in turn, triggered a devastating economic blow to communities of color. And that grim backdrop was the context for the shocking on camera killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. In the month since Floyd's death, protestors have taken to the streets demanding justice that includes police reform and the dismantling of systemic racism. While many people of color are buoyed by the recent public support, they have also been buffeted by ongoing emotional trauma. Can they find healing and hope? And is there a critical role for religion and faith in this moment?
