May 25 marks the fifth anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, whose death at the hands of police prompted worldwide protests. Prof. Cornell Brooks discusses what has changed for Black Americans since the incident and what further actions are needed to reform policing and tackle racism in the U.S.
Police reform and civil-rights activists joined thousands of people on Sunday to mark the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder and decry the Trump administration for actions they say set their efforts back.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said at a graveside service with Floyd’s family in Houston that Floyd, 46, represented all of those “who are defenceless against people who thought they could put their knee on our neck.”
He compared Floyd’s killing to that of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black child who was abducted, mutilated and slain in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman.
