Cities and communities across the U.S. responded in anguish and outrage following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. As part of that response, Uncommon Schools cancelled class for a day to provide its staff, students, and community space to reflect, mourn, and heal.
βIt became abundantly clear that we β even myself, as a black woman β were grieving and struggling with the events that have been happening,β said Juliana Worrell, Chief Schools Officer K-8.
