Five years ago, a pivotal moment in the fight for racial justice and police accountability unfolded on a Minneapolis street corner. Darnella Frazier, then a teenager, bravely recorded the horrific murder of George Floyd at the hands of police officers. In a recent interview, Frazier opened up about the traumatic experience, sharing the impact it had on her life and the larger implications it holds for the world.
Frazier recounted the fateful day when she witnessed the devastating incident. She described how she and her young cousin happened to be at the scene, witnessing the cruelty unfolding before their eyes. It was a chance encounter that led to her capturing the now-infamous footage, which would go on to become a pivotal piece of evidence and a global symbol of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The video’s impact was profound, sparking immediate and lasting worldwide protests against police brutality and racial inequality. It ignited a global conversation about systemic racism and the urgent need for change. The footage became a stark reminder of the deep-rooted issues within law enforcement and the dire consequences of their actions.
