“GUILTY!” they yelled. “All three!”
Horns began blaring across the city as the crowd gleefully chanted George Floyd‘s name, no longer an angry cry, but one of happiness.
“Say his name! GEORGE FLOYD!”
Monday afternoon, Selena McKnight was in tears as she explained how racist policing has devastated Black communities like hers, as she helped lead a protest march around the courthouse.
Less than 24 hours, outside the courthouse, tears were again in her eyes. She threw her arms around her 18-year-old daughter and joined the crowd in cheers.
“This means everything. This is long, long overdue,” said McKnight, 46. “This feels good. But this doesn’t stop here. We have to keep going.”
