Reflection:

• Talk about what you see going on in the news with family and friends:

  • What do you think about the death of George Floyd?

  • Why do you think that way?

  • What do you think is the source of all of this?

• Think about your own lens:

  • How do you see or not see privilege in your life in regards to race or other areas?

  • How can you work to understand other perspectives?
