Dear Editor:
I am writing in response to Andriy Semotiuk’s opinion piece about the Black Lives Matter movement (June 28-July 5). I find it truly amazing that Mr. Semotiuk attempts to establish a case for Ukrainian Americans/Canadians to rally behind that movement based on a parallel history. It is clear that Mr. Semotiuk either has no understanding of Ukrainian history or is simply ignoring one of the most crucial aspects of our Ukrainian history.
