The journey to this moment has been painful and so very difficult. Derek Chauvin s killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis was a shocking and disturbing experience for so many people. On video, Chauvin kneeled on Floyd s neck for more than nine minutes as he took his last breaths.
Many of those who joined in the sustained protests last summer did so for the first time because of what happened to George Floyd and were motivated by their newfound understanding of the pain Black people endure in this country.
Congresswoman
Maxine Waters has penned an editorial in which she maintains that critics are targeting her in a “blatant distortion of the truth.”
Waters attended a peaceful rally Saturday in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota to show her support in the fight against police brutality. When asked what protesters should do if there wasn’t a conviction, she responded: “We got to stay on the street. And we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational.”
