Congress shall make no law respecting an establish- ment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. -- The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

The vast majority of Americans have been sickened by the horrific video of a white Minneapolis police officer slowly and agonizingly choking to death a 46 year-old Af- rican-American man, George Floyd. Mr. Floyd had not committed any act of violence prior to being arrested and was lying prone on his stomach, with his hands handcuffed behind his back, as the officer ap- plied pressure with his knee and the full force of his body weight to Mr. Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 53 sec- onds. The murder of Mr. Floyd while in police custody was the culmination of a series of high-profile, race-related in- cidents in recent weeks that have highlighted the racism that is inherent in our society and that have spurred the pro- tests for the past week in major cities across the country. What has been striking about the protest movement is that the protesters in every city have been representative of all races and nationalities, similar to the peaceful protest marches and the Freedom Rider movement in the 1960s Guest Op-Ed that were led by Dr. Martin Luther King and other leaders of the Civil Rights movement at that time.
