I have decided to restart the project. I paused the project because I did not want to distract from the powerful protests that followed the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Rayshard Brooks.
These protests have definitely shined a light on a problem that needs to be fixed. I have spent the down time reflecting and reading about racism, including joining a reading group at my college.
It feels right to move on now, and honor these legendary athletes who clearly felt the sting of racism.
