What Next - Best of 2021 | One Woman’s Year Protecting George Floyd Square
We’re re-running some of our favorite episodes from the past year. This episode originally aired in May 2021.
A year after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, residents near the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue—now dubbed George Floyd Square—continue to keep the area closed off. The city wants to reopen the intersection, but activists say they aren’t giving in until the community’s demands for justice are met.
Guest: Marcia Howard, security volunteer and organizer in George Floyd Square.
