Silent George Floyd protest in the very red Houston suburb in Texas, Kingwood
The silent protest did not disappoint. Several dozen people attended this quickly put together event. It garnered people of just about every ethnicity and race. Reflecting the area it was likely 80% white or so. That's very pleasing because it is a trend of awareness that has started to come to this community that far too long has been myopic about America let alone racial issues.
What was most impressive was both the depth of understanding of most and those who just knew something was wrong. The attendees who were willing to speak were all impactful in many forms. Listen to all their comments in the video above. Two women had statements that stuck with me.
