Relatively Little Has Changed Since Floyd's Death, Despite Momentum
Newsy
Many police departments banned chokeholds or made other reforms after George Floyd died. But broader problems persist, and change is slow.
On a warm afternoon in Minneapolis, hundreds gathered at the feet of the courthouse where Derek Chauvin was convicted just weeks ago of murdering George Floyd. A year after his death, they cried out for deeper change. "Convicting Chauvin is not enough," the Rev. Al Sharpton bellowed to the crowd, getting a rousing response. Carmen Means, a local activist and pastor, reminded the crowd of the generations before them who fought for basic rights for Black Americans.More Related News
