Since George Floyd’s death progress has been made in leaps and bounds, power to the people. In case you missed it the following has occurred:
- All four officers involved in George Floyd’s death have been charged. Derek Chauvin has been charged with second degree murder and divorced by his wife.
- Samira Nasr became the first black editor in chief of Harper’s Bazaar; the magazine has been in publication for over 100 years (153 to be exact).
- All six officers involved in tasing and assaulting black college students (from Spelman and Morehouse) have been arrested.
- Twitter, Nike, and many other businesses will now acknowledge Juneteenth as a holiday. Google also created a banner for the holiday, which is a big, big deal. Last year Davian Chester went viral for doing it himself.
- Tara Duncan is the new president of Freeform (first black woman) and Matt James will be the first black The Bachelor.
- Louisville passed a bill in honor of Breonna Taylor, banning no knock warrants.
- The Supreme Court prevented Trump from ending DACA.
