We did a Coffee Break on the theme of "change" on April 17, and for a very different reason than we're going to do it again today.

Though we're still in the midst of the global Coronavirus pandemic and we are far from a vaccine, it's hardly possible to keep the pandemic at the top of our minds after the events of the last week.

The killing of George Floyd has affected cities all over the world - inspiring reactions ranging from peaceful protests and demonstrations to civil unrest and destruction for more than a week now and it's hard to imagine life ever being the same again.

A police officer was charged with the killing George Floyd, and it was just announced recently that the Minnesota's Human Rights Department is launching an investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department, though time will tell what results from both of these moves.

Let's reflect on the changes we've experienced in the last week, and the change that will hopefully come out of all of this.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear for change?
