Scott Bogle, Frank DeGiovanni, Jennifer Near Friday Aug 14, 2020 at 7:08 PM We find ourselves in a perfect storm with multiple flashpoints: A once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and a centuries-old struggle for justice. One is a public health emergency that has lasted for months and promises many future challenges: COVID-19. The other is the most insidious, long-standing public health emergency which has lasted for hundreds of years: Racism. Current events underscore the seriousness of the situation.
