Announcements, Adjournment Honors, and Remarks Under Special Privilege
Senator L. Taylor, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of a man taken much too soon. A man who loved and cared for his family as well as his community. Senator Taylor wanted us to take a moment to remember Ceasar Stinson, a man with a beautiful soul and compassionate spirit, who should have has so many more days ahead of him. In the age of disproportionate and inconsistent sentencing, of reckless driving, of racism that is embedded so deep that to even attempt to speak openly about it leads to retaliation-or-worse-blatant disregard of the reality; this man was simply living his life, going about his business, doing all he could for friends, family, and community, and was struck down in his prime. We turned to the justice system to right this wrong, and have been disappointed once again. Even as we ask how long do we have to witness senseless deaths, Senator Taylor wanted us to remember his name. Remember his smiling face. Remember why we fight for justice and equality. Senator Taylor wanted us to adjourn in honor of Mr. Stinson and be reminded by his memory that we are not promised tomorrow, so we must do all we can today to make the world a safer place for all people, not just some.
