âThings have changed as far as the spirit of the people. But as far as policies and government and police reform are concerned. Itâs still the same thing thatâs been presented across the country. The movement has slowed down as far as marching in the streets. But as far as the needs of the people, that hasnât went anywhere," said Washington.
