Recently, my 12-year-old daughter found a list of names online. She recognized the last one: George Floyd. Reading the image’s caption, she learned the names belonged to Black people unjustly killed by police in the U.S. since 2014.
My daughter then asked me one of those questions only children can ask — rich with complexity while unapologetically straightforward.
“Mom,” she said, “if this is your list, will I have a list? And is George Floyd’s name on your list or mine? Because I won’t forget him.”
