As you may know a resident of the city of Grinnell was murdered last week. His name was Michael Williams, and he was a Black member of the Grinnell community. This stark and brutal murder in the national context of racial injustice has struck intense fear for safety of our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) colleagues, friends, and families. National context has become local experience. The investigation is underway to bring justice to Mr. Williams and his family.
