Just a few days have passed since Derek Chauvinâs conviction in the murder of George Floyd. But the images from that moment are seared in our memories forever: the murderer, led away in handcuffs. The Floyd family, Philonise Floyd speaking through tears, at the microphones after the verdict. The crowds outside the court house erupting in cheers when the verdict was read. Finally getting serious Our gratitude for this measure of accountability is soul deep. And now we ask ourselves, will things really be different this time? The answer is that they can be if we seize this moment.
