Harry Wilson was born and raised in upstate Johnstown, NY. Harry’s mother and paternal grandparents all emigrated to Johnstown from their native Greece, making Harry a first-generation Greek-American. Harry’s father, Jim, was a bartender at his brother’s restaurant, and Harry’s mother, Niki, was a stay-at-home mom until Harry was 11, when looming college commitments led her to take a job operating a sewing machine at a local factory.
A police protest in Dallas, Texas ended with the murder of five Dallas police officers and the wounding of seven others. There are many cities across the country where there were protests over the deaths of two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota by police officers. In my view two wrongs don’t make a right. The young man who did the killing was apparently consumed by bigotry and hate and let his gun do the talking about what he perceived was justice against innocent police officers who were only trying to keep the peace. In my opinion hate is not the answer and does not address the injustices many people of color feel.
