It hasn't been a year since the incident happened, but it'll be a year on May 25th. George Floyd, was a Black man who died at the hands of police last May. He died after being trapped under the knee of former Officer Derek Chauvin for an estimated time of 8 minutes and 46 seconds. This, then was captured on camera and sparked protests worldwide. It also, once again reignited the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Attorneys for the family said that the footage created "undeniable demand for justice and change." The hearings will start on March 29th. Also, the Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously to pay Floy's family a $27m settlement.
