On May 25, 2020, George Floyd took his last labored breaths, while Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck. What happened that night reverberated around the world. One year later, we reflect on how George Floyd’s death galvanized a racial justice movement in Minnesota that was years in the making. Independent Journalist Georgia Fort looks at what progress has been made since then.
