SALT LAKE CITY When George Floyd was murdered in May 2020 by former Minneapolis police office Derek Chauvin, the impact of the tragedy was felt across the country.
For Courtney Kelly, a Utah rapper, it felt deeply personal and she struggled to focus that week; however, she noticed her white peers didn t really feel the same way. I do feel sometimes that Utah kind of lives in a bubble, she explained. Or they really don t kind of grasp what is going on outside in the world. Like for example, when the Black Lives Matter protests were initially happening and then the aftermath of George Floyd s murder, I just felt like people were very out of touch or they didn t even know like that s something that was happening until it kind of reached a boiling point here with protests and riots in Salt Lake.
