The uprisings for racial justice that followed the brutal murder of George Floyd on May 28, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota damaged the physical building where a family medicine residency is situated.

We also call on those in family medicine to work more in the communities that we serve, and to make advocacy a core part of the identity of family medicine. Key words: family medicine; racism; community; advocacy https://doi.org/10.1370/afm.2628
