It's been a tumultuous couple of weeks in Minnesota (and across the world) following the killing of George Floyd, civil unrest and protests and fighting for justice, and all on the heels of a global pandemic.

Let's do a quick temp check here. Picture like we're all in a Zoom meeting together and there's so many of us that we only have time for each person to share one word about how we're feeling. What word is that for you today?

And better yet - for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, is there a song that represents the way you feel today?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
