Dear Colleagues,

On Monday, May 25, a man died right before our eyes.  He died in real time and on instant replay, over and over and over again.  He died not of a heart attack, a car accident or old age.  He died under the knee of a person, of four people, who swore an oath to protect him.

George Floyd was an African American man who had two daughters, several jobs, and countless friends.  He was one in a long line of men and women of color who have died under a knee, at the barrel of a gun or swinging from a tree in a “free” country. 

The Guild for Human Services has been awarded a $5,000 grant from the Dedham Savings Community Foundation.

The grant is part of Dedham Savings’ Community Foundation Grant program, which invests in organizations whose work benefits underserved populations in communities served by Dedham Savings.
