#VOICESOFPROTEST - What You Need to Know:
The death of George Floyd - who died after a police officer pressed his knee onto his neck as he cried out for air - sparked global protests filled with people demanding change.
Demonstrators say they are protesting police brutality and the systematic racism non-white Americans have been forced to bear since the country’s inception.
...More Americans today than five years ago believe police violence is a very serious problem that disproportionately affects black Americans, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

“This is one of the first times since the ’60s, where the global demand, the intergenerational demand, the multiracial demand is for systemic change,” said Cornell University professor Noliwe Rooks, a segregation expert.
“There is some understanding and acknowledgement at this point that there’s something in the DNA of the country that has to be undone.”
Juneteenth, the holiday celebrating the day that all enslaved black people learned they had been freed, will be marked wit...h marches and demonstrations, along with expressions of black joy in spite of an especially traumatic time.
