George Floyd - police reform - racial equity - racial justice protests - social justice

The tragic murder of George Floyd sparked a global movement for justice and police reform, but progress remains slow. Read on to see how his legacy continues to shape the conversation.

Four years have passed since the horrific murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. The video of his brutal death ignited protests and led to a national reckoning on policing practices. Despite the widespread calls for change, significant progress in police reform has been sluggish.

George Floyd's family continues to advocate for legislative reforms in policing, urging Congress to take action. The calls for accountability and racial equity reverberate through their plea for change. The struggle for justice and lasting reforms remains a key focus, four years after his tragic death.

The legacy of George Floyd lives on through the ongoing demands for police reform. The movement that emerged following his murder emphasizes the need for justice, accountability, and systemic change. While the global protests in 2020 offered a glimmer of hope, the pace of significant reform has been disappointingly slow.

As we reflect on the four-year anniversary of George Floyd's killing, it's evident that the fight for police reform is far from over. The impact of his death continues to resonate, calling for a fundamental shift in policing practices and societal attitudes towards racial justice.
