Across the country and in central Ohio, anger over our country’s systemic racism and the violence it perpetuates against the black community has given rise to protests, both peaceful and violent. Those of us who find ourselves in a place of racial privilege might be unsure of how to respond and support our black siblings in humanity. We might feel overwhelmed and so decide to sit on the sidelines. This is understandable, but the one thing we cannot do is nothing.
