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.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

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.  Note:  Posts may also be allegorical in nature, and not literal.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
