I hope you will check out Page 1 of The Tennessean’s “Insight” section - in the print edition - this Sunday morning. There, my column is paired with an important op-ed message by Dr. Fallon Wilson, the founder of Black in Tech Nashville. It’s an honor to appear alongside her.

Dr. Wilson’s is an important voice in our community. Today, she addresses an essential aspect of our culture that deserves much more attention from all leaders in the city and across our state and nation.

The many issues of race that have been raised over the past three weeks are not only about policing and brutality. They are about much more: human relations, history, reconciliation, and how communities will insist on justice in many spheres. This constitutes an essential conversation I believe we need to have as Americans. I am grateful for the many emails and other responses to my suggestion that we attempt soon to undertake this conversation in a structured way, city by city.

On this Sunday morning, I am wishing us all peace through a deeper understanding of each other, and the resolve to do something about all this.
