The Death of George Floyd

“I Cannot Breathe”
by Oyin Oladipo
This poem, by Oyin Olipado, an ordinand here at Wycliffe Hall – and, of course, the events, attitudes, history and pain that prompted it – challenge us at a profound level. The death of George Floyd has shocked and appalled us, but it is forcing us as a society, as a church, as a college and as individuals to examine ourselves, to identify and repent of the biases, conscious or unconscious, that we find there.
