The Orlando Magic joined many other organizations to call for nonviolence and understanding of local protests over racial injustice.
Protests have dominated headlines throughout the last three days as anger and frustration over the murder of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis followed a frustratingly similar pattern.
Communities that have long been overlooked, forgotten and abused are protesting. In some areas, they are meeting resistance from the very bodies they demand change from because they are supposed to serve and protect them.
