Day of Remembrance kicks off events marking 4th anniversary of George Floyd's death

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - When George Floyd died at the hands of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on Memorial Day in 2020, his death prompted protests and calls for change.

Now, four years later, his memory is still a cause for people to take action.

"We can never forget. We can never stop talking about George Floyd. We can never unsee what we saw in 2020," said Leslie E. Redmond, Executive Director of the nonprofit Win Back.

Win Back organized its first annual Day Of Remembrance for George Floyd Friday.

It started with an interfaith prayer service at city hall and continued with a brunch featuring speakers like Attorney General Keith Ellison, former Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

"I like to say COVID-19 shut the world down and George Floyd opened it back up. We can never forget this happened in our own backyard," said Redmond.

Win Back also held a teen summit where young people from across the Midwest talked about where we were in 2020, where we are now and how we will move forward.

...or called Give a Hug to the Thug Day.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
