NJIT Community Members,

The death of George Floyd has brought us to a point of inflection throughout our country, and it has done so for multiple reasons.

Mr. Floyd's death was captured on video, so we have been forced to see a truth we would rather not believe. That video is both heartbreaking and infuriating. No decent person could watch the extermination of a helpless human being in such a callous manner without experiencing feelings of true anger and despair.
