Five years ago today, the world watched in shock as George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. His final words—"I can't breathe"—became a rallying cry for millions demanding racial justice and systemic reform. 🌍💔
Floyd's death ignited historic protests across the U.S. and globally, from London to Lagos, pushing conversations about police accountability and anti-Black racism into the mainstream. While progress has been uneven, activists credit the movement with sparking policy changes, corporate diversity pledges, and a renewed focus on equity.
For Floyd's loved ones, the anniversary is deeply personal. "We miss his laugh, his presence," said a family member in a recent interview. Communities worldwide are holding vigils and art installations to honor his memory and reflect on the work still needed. ✨🕯️
As Gen Z continues to lead grassroots advocacy, Floyd's story remains a touchstone for those fighting inequality—a reminder that one life can alter the course of history. 📢🔗
