“The tragic death of George Floyd and the events of the last few weeks have renewed calls for social justice, racial equity, and improved police/community relations nationwide,” said West Palm Beach Mayor Keith A. James. “To create a community of opportunity for all and to ensure meaningful, transformative change, we must first have an honest, candid conversation about what victory looks like.
