The Polite and Wilson families huddled together under an overcast sky on Wednesday afternoon for a reunion of sorts outside of a familiar spot: Lancaster City Hall.

Tuesday marked one-year since former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into Floydâs neck, setting off a summer of international outrage and protests.
âGeorge Floyd is not a martyr,â Dr. Sharee Livingston, chair of the OB-GYN department at UPMC Lititz, told the dozen or so doctors who gathered on the hospitalâs front lawn Tuesday afternoon. âHe wanted to go home to his family that day.â
