Greene County activists plan one-year memorial event for George Floyd Jordan Laird
Several citizens groups that formed in Greene County last year in reaction to the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis are planning an anti-racism seminar and rally to commemorate the one-year anniversary of his murder, which occurred on May 25, 2020.
“We’re standing against racism and social injustice and remembering George Floyd,” said Denise Moore, co-founder of Sugarcreek Cares. “Don’t forget George Floyd because it was wrong, it was so wrong and we need to make a change.”
This demonstration and the continuation of these groups show the lasting impact the events of last summer have had on the racial justice movement, particularly in white communities.
