“George Floyd’s life mattered and Breonna Taylor’s life mattered and Philando Castile’s life mattered,” said Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, to the graduating class of Immaculate Heart High School during a virtual commencement speech on Wednesday evening.

But like many people in this country right now, her heart is heavy with the racism that has reared its ugly head again.

I realized the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing because George Floyd’s life mattered and Breonna Taylor’s life mattered and Philando Castile’s life mattered and Tamir Rice’s life mattered… and so did so many other people whose names we know and whose names we do not know,” said Markle.

“I remember the curfew and I remember rushing back home and on that drive home, seeing ash fall from the sky and smelling the smoke and seeing the smoke billow out of buildings… I remember seeing men in the back of a van just holding guns and rifles.

She said, “We’re seeing that right now, from the sheriff in Michigan or the police chief in Virginia.

Markle continued:  â€œWith as diverse, vibrant and opened minded as I know the teachings are at Immaculate Heart, I know you know that Black lives matters.
