George Floyd protests

The George Floyd protests began in May 2020 after the death of George Floyd, an African American man, during an arrest by police in Minneapolis. His death, captured on video, ignited widespread outrage over police brutality and systemic racism in the United States. Demonstrations quickly spread across the nation and globally, with protesters demanding justice for Floyd and reforms to policing practices. The movement highlighted issues of racial inequality and sparked discussions on social justice, resulting in calls for changes in law enforcement and broader societal reforms. The protests became a significant moment in the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
