Summary

May 31st is the four-year anniversary of my tweet, All Lives Matter! Every Single One! On today's episode I discuss what it was like for me back then. I answer the question am I'm sorry for my tweet and the answer is no and will always be no. I read a story from Phil Mushnick of the NY Post dated June 4, 2020. The subject was my tweet. Phil, unlike so many others, doesn't turn his head on important topics. He isn't afraid to speak out on sensitive topics. I applaud him for that. As MLK Jr once said, "our lives begin to end the day we remain silent about things that matter". Unfortunately, too many people in our country remain silent about things that matter. Antisemitism is just one example. I also read several other notes from 2020 including an email written by my dad's best friend after my father passed away in 2007. The email to this day is one of my greatest treasures as it encapsulates what my family stands for. So, on the four-year anniversary of my life changing 180 degrees I just want to say again, All Lives Matter! Every Single One! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
