No. 7 - June 6, 2020
As the world grappled with a rapidly spreading pandemic, Americans rallied together in another fight. Voices joined together again, louder, demanding justice for victims of police brutality and for an end to systemic racism. While some protest marches turned violent, Emporiaâs march on June 5 was peaceful â a unifying show of community in a time of turmoil.
More than 500 Emporians and surrounding community members of all ages, backgrounds and colors joined together Friday afternoon to speak out against racial inequality in the United States and demand justice for victims of police brutality.
Organized by Emporia State students, community leaders and local members of the Black Lives Matter movement, Fridayâs event included both an opportunity for silent, contemplative prayer and a chance for protestors to voice frustrations loud and clear, in some cases, directly to members of law enforcement.

The Invesco Dynamic Leisure & Entertainment ETF (NYSEARCA:PEJ), which is most heavily weighted towards the restaurant sector, is still down by 15% in 2020, though it has gained 28% since the end of October owing to the favorable developments on the coronavirus vaccine front.
Aside from the current challenges it faces, the restaurant industry is undoubtedly on the rise, as evidenced by the growing chunk of the food market that it’s been able to eat up in recent years. Restaurant spending toppled traditional grocery spending for the first time in 2010 in the U.S and the industry has continued to grow since then.
