PiM community, we want to take a moment to recogni PiM community, we want to take a moment to recognize the pain many of you are experiencing as we learned of yet another police shooting leading to the death of a person of color. The frustration we feel at a system that continues to devalue Black lives is palpable today. Many of us are boiling over. 

Students of color—please know that we value you and share your heartache, anger, and frustration. We take a moment to reflect on the loss of Daunte Wright, and his friends and family who are suffering today. This cannot continue—we need to do better.

(Photos are from murals painted on businesses in Uptown Minneapolis by PiM students last summer.)
