The Longfellow Business Association is working to get resources to our community in the wake of George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer.
I have lived in the Longfellow neighborhood for thirty years. This is where we raised our children. Our son, Jacob, and others worked tirelessly, day and night, to deliver medical assistance to those in need from a church basement three blocks from the 3rdPrecinct.
Streets now burning beneath the sun
Good God we pray justice be done
We can rebuild imagine that
But we cannot bring George Floyd’s life back
The time has now come to rebuild. Approximately fifty businesses and non-profits were adversely impacted. Many individual businesses have received donations, but initial estimates place total damage at well over $600 million.
George Floyd please say his name
George Floyd don’t let him die in vain
George Floyd
