Today marks the third anniversary of George Floyd's death

Today marks three years since George Floyd died at the hands of Minneapolis police. His death launched protests, some that turned violent, and led to a push for racial justice in policing. There will be a candlelight vigil tonight at George Floyd Square in south Minneapolis.
