A jury in Minneapolis last week found former police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of all charges in the death of George Floyd. As the verdict was read, people outside the courthouse and around the world seemed to sigh in collective relief.
Some measure of justice, it seemed, had been served.
Speaking to a crowd gathered Sunday in front of a mural of Floyd on Bloomington’s west side, Cana Brooks said that just as it had for others, the verdict brought her a sense of relief.
The Bloomington-Normal NAACP's Youth Council was one of the organizers of Sunday's event.
