The Continued Fight for Racial Justice in the United States

to check on you,’” Harrelson said in an interview with the Associated Press. The death of George Floyd, a Black man, at the hands of a white police officer in 2020 sparked a nationwide movement for racial justice and police accountability. However, recent events have shown that this progress may be under siege. Several memorials dedicated to Floyd have been removed, including a mural in Minneapolis and a street sign in New Jersey. Additionally, laws and policies implemented in the wake of Floyd’s death, such as police reform and the removal of Confederate statues, are facing pushback and challenges. The removal of these memorials and the resistance to change highlight the continued systemic racism and discrimination in the United States. Many activists and supporters fear that the legacy of George Floyd and the fight for racial justice may be fading away. Harrelson, who has become a vocal advocate for police reform and racial justice, believes that the removal of these memorials is a step back in the fight for equality. She urges people to continue to push for change and hold those in power accountable. While the fight for racial justice may seem to have lost ground, it is important to remember that the movement is far from over. The legacy of George Floyd and the ongoing efforts for racial justice will continue to inspire and drive change in the United States. It is up to individuals and communities to keep the momentum going and ensure that the fight for equality and justice remains at the forefront of our society."
