Five years after George Floyd’s tragic death, memorials across the U.S. reignited conversations about racial inequality. The unarmed Black man’s killing by a white police officer in 2020 became a global rallying cry, exposing deep-rooted systemic racism. 📸
Adam Solveig, a New York-based Black photographer, shared his raw perspective: "Racism didn’t start with George Floyd—it’s always been here. His death was just the spark." Through his lens, Adam captures everyday life in the city, but his lived experience reveals a darker reality. He emphasized how systemic barriers—from policing to economic opportunities—continue to shape lives.
While protests in 2020 pushed reforms, Adam remains cautiously hopeful: "Change is slow, but our voices matter." As young activists worldwide keep the flame alive, Floyd’s legacy reminds us that the fight for justice is far from over. ✨
