After 400 years, we have a verdict

The universe is reigning down on us....especially in Minneapolis.  Tuesday, April 20th, a guilty verdict was handed down in the George Floyd murder by cop case. Wednesday, April 21st, it will be five years since the murder of Prince. Soon, other crooked cops will stand trial for the murders they've committed as well.  These events which happened in Minneapolis made history.  Each of these events involved deliberation of the merit of each case.  Careful thought was given by the jury. Political leaders made several exclamations about George Floyd's murder and the continued quest for justice.  Actress and Activist Kerry Washington placed this message on social media:

A guilty #verdict. But this fight for justice is not over. We have a lot of work to do. There is more fight ahead of us. But RIGHT NOW please take CARE of yourself. And let’s take care of each other. Prayers and love to the family of #GeorgeFloyd.


The world revolves around the universal concept of justice. Whether in Biblical times or today, deliberations are made to determine the guilt or innocence of the parties involved. We must get out all possible outcomes to get to the truth of the matter. We must evaluate all evidence before reconciling the matter. And we must move forward to gain the rewards attached to ending the situation that has been thoroughly vetted. We have a long journey ahead in the United States. After 400 years of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, segregation, and institutionalized racism, laws are being fought by those who are unwilling to change our society. We must remain diligent to create and sustain irrevocable rights and monumental policies for our future. So now that we have a verdict, what do we do next? Some suggestions are:

-Take a deep breath.

-Take care of yourself. Connect with your loved ones.

-Call 202-499-6085. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act must pass.

-Use your voice in ALL elections. Register to vote.

-Continue to #SayHis Name.


 I don't know what the future holds, but I do know who holds my future. I put my faith, trust, and hope in God as He navigates this thing called life.  I aspire to live the best life....the purple life. I strive to be in God's will as He has a plan for my life. I often move as He would have me move deliberately and with purpose. He has the vision,  and He's made it plain. The prayers of our ancestors came full circle. So what say ye about tomorrow? Have you aligned your will with His? Have you noticed the difference in your results? How are you doing on your journey? How do you intend to move forward in this historically charged moment?
