George Floyd:
‘The power of protest and the legacy of George Floyd. Mr Floyd was not famous. He was killed on a street corner in America’s 46th-largest city. Yet in death he has suddenly become the keystone of a movement that has seized all of the United States. Still more remarkably, he has inspired protests abroad, from Brazil to Indonesia, and France to Australia. Large-scale social change is hard. Protest movements have a habit of antagonising the moderate supporters they need to succeed. Yet Mr Floyd’s death holds the rich promise of social reform. Anyone who thinks racism is too difficult to tackle might recall that just six years before he was born, interracial marriage was still illegal in 16 American states. Today about 90% of Americans support it. America is both a country and an idea, and wrapped up in that idea is a conviction that progress is possible’, Economist wrote.
