Five Years After George Floyd: A Cousin's Plea for Continued Reform

Five years after the death of George Floyd, the fight for police reform continues. His cousin, Dr. Shareeduh McGee, president of the 929 Foundation, reflects on the progress made at the local level while expressing disappointment at the federal level. "The fear that he could be forgotten is the fuel that keeps me going," McGee says, highlighting the importance of continued community engagement. While some progress has been made in areas like banning chokeholds, McGee notes the George Floyd Policing Act failed to pass, leaving much work still to be done. The anniversary of Floyd's death serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.
