LONG ISLAND, NY – Tuesday marks one year since George Floyd died after Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chavin pressed a knee to his neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds. One year since Floyd lay on the ground crying out for his mama. One year since the world watched a video that sparked a piercing cry for change.
In the months that followed, protests were organized across Long Island that brought together hundreds who lay down on sleepy Main Streets, hands behind their backs, recreating those haunting nine minutes and 29 seconds as they cried out, No justice, no peace, and Mama, I can t breathe!

Wednesday was a classic late spring day in New York City. The temperature hovered in the high twenties and the sun beat down on the concrete.
New Yorkers flocked into the streets, many keeping their masks on.
Audrey Pallmeyer sat on the steps of the city s Public Theatre chatting with colleagues. She and friend wore masks while another colleague was maskless.
Ms Pallmeyer, who works in the theatre s costume department, said she hoped the city’s lifting of restrictions would restart the struggling arts scene.
