Kwanzaa during the pandemic Many people have aptly described 2020 as “unprecedented.” It was the year the nation’s twin pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism were publicly acknowledged and inadequately addressed. Some of the names of those who have suffered brutal deaths due to the color of their skin have become well-known: George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery. Many others, including those who are gender nonconforming and/or transgender, remain obscure. This is the year #BlackLivesMatter extended beyond Black people into the hearts, minds and mouths of ordinary “woke” white folks, in the United States and throughout the world.

Countless educational workshops and seminars have been held remotely to aid with global healing.
