Eric Garner's mother reacts to Derek Chauvin's conviction: "Tears started falling from my eyes"
Across the country, many Americans are feeling a sense of relief after the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd.
The chilling video of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck as he repeatedly pleaded that he couldn't breathe became a rallying cry across the country and the world on the issue of race and policing in America.
Six years before Floyd said, "I can't breathe," Eric Garner said those same words while in the grip of a New York City police officer.
