Recently we participated in a demonstration in support of George Floyd, and protesting widespread police brutality against persons of color in our society, which took place in Brattleboro. The event took place on the main street of Brattleboro, with every person we saw wearing a mask, and spread out 6 feet apart all along both sides of the street. We later learned that about 1000 people were involved according to the local police department’s count. Scott Couper, the pastor of Centre Congregational Church on Main Street in Brattleboro, very kindly put out a bench from the church for me to sit on right on the curb. There were several clergy nearby there in front of the church. It felt good to be part of a live event and not just a face in a square on our computer screen.
