The tragic and unnecessary death of George Floyd, following so many other unjust killings of African American men and women, has galvanized the world’s attention and created volatile reactions across the U.S. and the globe. This recent killing emphasizes the significant racial injustice that still exists in the U.S. and the long history of perpetuating the inequalities that led to this moment.
