Meghan Markle Addresses Death of George Floyd in Graduation Speech

Meghan began the video by telling the class that she wasn’t sure what she could say to them following recent events. “I wanted to say the right thing. And I was really nervous that I wouldn’t, or that it would get picked apart and I realized the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing.

Towards the end of her speech , Markle touched on the hope she has in the next generation to make meaningful change. “Now all of that work [you’ve done over the past four years] gets activated. Now you get to be part of rebuilding. And I know sometimes people say how many times do we need to rebuild? Well, you know, we are going to rebuild and rebuild and rebuild until it is rebuilt. Because when the foundation is broken, so are we.

So the first thing I want to say to you is that I’m sorry. I’m so sorry that you have to grow up in a world where this is still present. And I can’t imagine that at 17 or 18 years old, which is how old you are now, that you would have to have a different version of that same type of experience. That’s something you should have an understanding of but an understanding of as a history lesson, not as your reality.The other thing though that I do remember about that time was how people came together. And we are seeing that right now. We are seeing that from the sheriff in Michigan or the police chief in Virginia.

Lane is the last person to show any remorse in Mr. Floyd's dying moments and now vilified and behind bars. Oh I could think of a few things that are wrong to say!!! What a dumb statement by a clueless woman trying to get airtime from Tyler Perry’s secured compound.
