In the wake of the startling events of last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, we are shocked and saddened by the blatant, violent displays of racism and hatred. This is not us, America. We’re better than this. And we can overcome this groundswell of bigotry and hostility if we work together for equality and peace. It may not be easy, but human dignity and equal rights for all Americans are worth the fight.
