Dear MPHA Members and Community,

Yesterday's guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin is a historic step in our endeavor to undo centuries of systemic racism. This verdict does not bring George Floyd back to us, his life is lost forever, but it may be a turning point in our justice system. Now we have to pause and reflect on what we all have to do both professionally and personally to continue our anti-racism work to create more just and equitable systems.
