Today all City employees can join me in briefly stopping their work for a full eight minutes and 46 seconds at noon to mourn his killing. As you know, this is the same amount of time a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee into Mr. Floyd's neck, until he died.

Racism is a sickness that has devastated our country for far too long. It stems from a lack of recognition of the humanity, pain, and suffering that Black people have experienced since the birth of this country, and it must be addressed.

We recognize not only the tragic loss of a single life, but also the long history of racism that courses through our entire country. We honor the countless Black lives lost to police violence and recommit ourselves to the fight against injustice and the struggle for equality.
