It has been a few weeks now since the day, May 25, when George Floyd lost his life on a street in Minneapolis, after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes during an arrest for allegedly using a forged $20 bill. And during this time, there has been much unrest around the world, thousands of people coming together to protest the tragic, violent and senseless death of this unarmed black man and the many that came before him; a coming together to protest systemic racism, police brutality, and years upon years of racial injustice.
