Floyd Anniversary: Protests Renew Calls for Justice | JQJO

The fifth anniversary of George Floyd's murder was marked by protests and commemorations across the US. Thousands gathered in Minneapolis at George Floyd Square, the site of his death, and in Houston at his graveside service. Rev. Al Sharpton criticized the Trump administration for canceling settlements aimed at police reform, deeming it disrespectful to Floyd's memory. Activists expressed frustration over the slow pace of police reform despite widespread protests in 2020. The events highlighted ongoing calls for racial justice and equality, five years after Floyd's death sparked a global movement.
