BLM, Covid, ALMIf this Covid 19 pandemic showed us anything it is that some lives matter more than others. This does not come as a surprise to me but the pandemic sort of put it into stark relief. The day that the mayor of Peekskill had asked me to speak at a Black Lives Matter rally, June 6, 2020, my father in law died of Covid at Hudson Valley Hospital. He'd sprained his ankle and had been hospitalized, and was sent to rehab where he caught Covid. I think of all the things that I personally dealt with during the Pandemic, the hardest was the inevitable question people asked when I told them he'd died of Covid, which was "how old was he?" It got to where I would not actually answer that question, and instead I'd say "Why do you ask that?" Nobody really wanted to answer that question. Tuesday, March 14th 2023 ![]() |
