The expressions of racist hatred and the murder in Charlottesville, and the reactions by the president heightened the sense that an August Standout for Black Lives was seriously needed. The addition of twenty new participants, along with two canine comrades, Sophie and Eli, as well as a number of very young sign holders, reflected that these feelings were widely shared. The horns beeping in support of the banner declaring that "We believe Black Lives Matter" have multiplied each month (even MBTA buses). This month we also had an influx of new people from the neighborhood as well as the continued support from Veterans for Peace, First Parish Church, Milton for Peace and folks from the Jamaica Plain vigil. It is a congenial atmosphere in which we are making a visible public statement about our opposition to racism. Thanks to all who came (especially the gentleman who brings us free food) and we welcome anyone interested in joining us next month.
