The Declaration of Independence states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Yet, the ongoing demonstrations, rallies, marches and protests, sparked by the killing of George Floyd, are about so much more and remind us that as a nation we continue to fall far short of these American ideals.
