CEB Community Corner

Volume 06 | June 3, 2020

The events exacerbated by the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers has challenged us as individuals, families, Delawareans, and Americans in unimaginable ways, even as our resilience is being tested by the COVID-19 crisis. Our deepest sympathies are with the George Floyd family and those in our community who may also have known or experienced such a horrific and unjust tragedy.

The Community Education Building exists to help children and families overcome terrible barriers created by racism. The civil unrest that we are witnessing is a call to action for each of us as individuals, and for all of us, collectively, to stand up and speak out for justice. We must not only "try" we must succeed in doing our part to purposefully and peaceably dismantle the policies, systems, and attitudes that have fostered the outrage and frustration that we are feeling and our children are seeing unfold in destructive ways. At the CEB, we commit to listen, learn, understand, and love through our words and our actions.

We will stand with our community to condemn injustices and persist until equity is achieved.
