George Floyd’s Last Words

Dear friends, Although I’ve always lived on the fringes of American society and culture, I have to acknowledge that I’ve lived a life of relative safety as a privileged white man. While, as a Jew, the experience of being oppressed is in my DNA, I’ve only personally experienced anti-semitism a couple of times in my life. So, I’ve had a hard time knowing what to say to address the murder of George Floyd and thousands of other black men and women in our country. Yet saying nothing is a failure to act. Silence is, indeed, violence. Yesterday, I received an email from one of the many lists that come to my inbox with George Floyd’s last words; words of fear and desperation; words that are more real then anything I’ve tried to verbalize. Immediately I picked up my banjo and and began to sing. Here’s what came out. If this is in any way inappropriate for me to sing, please accept my apologies. With love and caring, Jai
