In response to the tumult that was, and continues to be, on display across the nation, triggered by the death of George Floyd while in police custody, Wendy Miller, FASLA, president of the American Society of Landscape Architects, released the following statement:

 

"We are all horrified by the events that unfolded over the last several days. I am personally roiling with emotions, watching in real-time the injustices and inequitable treatment of people and communities who are in anguish because of centuries of racial discrimination. As landscape architects, we work to ensure that all persons have the right to equitable access to environmental and community benefits in the places they live, work, and learn. Now is the time for us to work to help ensure that these communities have fair and equitable treatment in all aspects of life."
