Angela Harrelson is a nurse, activist, and author best known as the aunt and closest Minnesota relative of George Floyd, whose 2020 death in Minneapolis police custody sparked a global movement against racial injustice. Born into a large family in North Carolina, Harrelson overcame poverty and systemic racism to become the first in her family to attend college, serve as a commissioned officer in the military, and pursue a professional nursing career. She worked in mental health nursing at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, before her life drastically changed following Floyd’s death[1][2]. After George Floyd was killed on May 25, 2020, Harrelson emerged as a prominent voice for justice, using her platform to share her family’s story and advocate for racial equity. She helped organize the annual "Rise and Remember" festivals held at George Floyd Square, a memorial site in Minneapolis. Additionally, she authored the memoir *Lift Your Voice: How My Nephew George Floyd’s Murder Changed the World*, which recounts her personal journey, the impact of Floyd’s death, and her vision for eradicating racism in America. The book intertwines themes of faith, hope, and activism, illustrating her commitment to social change[1][2][3]. Harrelson is also an experienced motivational speaker, focusing on topics related to racial justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. She travels from Minneapolis to deliver speeches and participate in events aimed at inspiring societal transformation and healing[4]. Her ongoing relevance stems from her leadership in commemorating George Floyd’s legacy and advocating for systemic reforms in policing and race relations.
