This week’s news cycle, with the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the incident with Christian Cooper in Central Park, is further proof that our country has a painfully long way to go when it comes to issues of race, entitlement and privilege.

We believe that telling stories, and listening to others share theirs, fosters empathy and puts us all on a path to deeper understanding and compassion. We hope that this week’s playlist gives everyone a moment to reflect.
