Athena Hollins, Senior
Director of Diversity and Foundations for the Minnesota State Bar Association,

other bar associations) to the killing of George Floyd. The bar associations are
mobilizing to work toward addressing systemic changes. How do we go about this?
Are there strategies from other organizations that might inform this discussion
here at the MSBA?
