The Hispanic Heritage Council of Western New York, Inc. stands together with our Black brothers and sisters in outrage over the murder of George Floyd and the years of systemic racism, violence, and inequity that continue to plague our communities and our country. We empathize and feel the very justified anger and frustration erupting as a result of the heinous crime committed last week and seek to work within our community to find peaceful solutions to address injustice and ways to begin the healing process. Now is a time to stand together against indifference, bigotry, and hatred for the good of all our people.
