George Floyd is sadly one of many, many African Americans who have been the victim of racial profiling and brutality.
Two men participating in that march — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and UAW President Walter Reuther — were dedicated to breaking the color lines and fighting for equality in wages, opportunities, housing, healthcare and fair societal treatment.
Because of socioeconomic and environmental factors — many due to continued disparity in opportunities — when COVID-19 struck this country it hit people of color especially hard.
The task force will act in an advisory capacity to the Governor and study the causes of racial disparities in the impact of COVID-19 and recommend actions to immediately address such disparities and the historical and systemic inequities that underlie them.
When we look at the many tragic incidents over the past decades, most recently Mr. Floyd’s horrific death, I can only think that we as a nation failed this young man, as we have failed so many others.

Last Monday, on Memorial Day, at 38th and Chicago in Minneapolis, four White police officers murdered George Floyd, a Black man.
Years ago I was told that in Duluth, Minnesota there is statue downtown of three Black men being hung to death by an angry mob of White people.

We all know that had Floyd been White and the police Black they would all be in jail now facing first-degree murder charges, no questions asked.
Minneapolis police have gained a reputation for shooting and killing Black men and getting away with it, sometimes yes, on video.

BY SHARON SIBINDI THE European Film Festival Zimbabwe 2020 is calling on filmmakers from across the country and those in the diaspora (Europe) to participate in the launch of this year’s virtual short film competition — BIOSKOP. The competition will run under the theme Life as We Don’t Know It, and is open to all genres of film. In a Press release, Paper Bag Africa said the European Film Festival was back despite the COVID-19 pandemic and the fourth edition would run virtually from October 30 to November 30. It will be viewed through a portal specially designed to showcase this year's selected films and the short film competition. “A selection of sophisticated European, Zimbabwean and African films presented by the embassies of the respective European countries awaits audience at the click of a mouse and for free, with a focus on topical issues and alternate perspectives,” said Paper Bag Africa. “The competition calls on Zimbabwean filmmakers to think outside the box and offer a fresh perspective on life amid COVID-19 and in the realm of limited resources. The films will be judged based on content and creativity, as well as their technical aspect, with the winners receiving cash prizes.” Paper Bag Africa said it successfully piloted the project during the previous edition of the festival.They said 24 individuals would be selected to participate in this year's Masterclass. EU ambassador to Zimbabwe, Timo Olkkonen (pictured) said 2020 had been an unpredictable year filled with spills than thrills and unexpected plots and twists. “The world is in a sombre state, COVID-19 has forced many to retreat into their homes, and many more to retreat into the inner space of their minds,” he said. “We need art in hard times, now more than ever. As Team Europe, we are glad that we can play our part in offering this film festival again, despite so many changes in life as we know it.” The competition categories are Best Narrative Short (US$400), Best Documentary Short (US$400), Best Sound Editing (US$200), Best Cinematography (US$200) and Best Diaspora Film (US$200)
