Selectboard condemns murder of George Floyd and structural racism. Doesn’t tell world. [Corrected]

At its meeting on Wednesday, the Selectboard passed a resolution condemning the murder of George Floyd and structural racism. A copy of the resolution taken as a screenshot from the CATV video of the June 10, 2020 meeting is below. It is not a great copy. My computer skills are limited. The document may be easier to read on the CATV video at the 19 minute mark.

I think it is a shame that the Town did not publicize the resolution in any way. No press release. No mention of it is on the listserv. To find the resolution on the Town’s website, one needs to know where to look. The resolution deserves to be on the Town’s homepage, not buried. You don’t fight racism by being silent or in this case, quiet.

Correction: An earlier version of this post said the resolution was not on the Town’s website.
