Joe Biden started his visit by meeting with members of the Blake family, and talking to Jacob Blake on the phone, then traveled to Grace Lutheran Church.

• Biden made sure to visit the Blake family and go on call to pray and have a conversation with Jacob Blake, for one of the main reasons, to listen to the pain in our community. Then he went to the Grace Welcome Center to listen to community leaders, local and religious leaders, business owners, activists, and of course police officers- again to listen to the pain of our community.

“Vice president Biden intentionally listened to the pain of our community”

• This is a key idea because, during 2020, many people were going through hardships, and having someone to express to is key.

In his remarks, Biden “named things he’s passionate about; things that would matter for our community, like a living wage and fair housing,” Barker said.

• This tells us the president thought we had many qualities in a very dark city (at the time).

"Biden’s listening and remarks were a good first step to changing things, said Barker. “It was very good the vice president facilitated listening, and if we start listening we have a chance at justice and reconciliation,” Barker said.

• Biden's speech was a good stepping stone for the recovery in uptown Kenosha, It also says that Biden listening to the GWC was a really good thing as it opened a way to change for the better .

“I am quite hopeful, but the real pain here can’t be fixed in one afternoon,” - Pastor Barker
