When I arrived in Minneapolis days before the Derek Chauvin trial was set to begin, I wanted to know how the locals were dealing with the aftermath of the gruesome killing of George Floyd. I wanted to ask Wayne why anyone would want to destroy a shop that truly served the community. One could even say that Wayne came from a world far more reminiscent of the world that George Floyd grew up and lived in. When George Floyd departed this earth, he became a political cudgel and cultural symbol to be used by the powers-that-be for whatever causes they served. And it is this lesson from Wayne that I will be carrying with me as we strive to create a better America out of the tragic death of George Floyd.
