Nearly two months after the George Floyd protests began, it’s harder to find scenes of the continued presence in the streets on TV. When the destruction and heightened chaos of the early weeks subsided, many outlets moved on, especially with the resurgence of COVID-19 across the US.
Visible or not, protesters continue to fill the streets in major cities across the country demanding change. Breonna Taylor’s death continues to gain calls for justice over 100 days since it happened, as does Elijah McClain’s. Education and conversation continue across social media. Racist statues fell, the Washington football team begrudgingly removed its name and NASCAR banned the confederate flag.
