US EditionThousands mark 5th anniversary of George Floyd's murder as they call for justice and decry Trump
- Thousands marked the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's killing on an ordinary Minneapolis street where Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for over nine minutes.
- The killing sparked the 2020 racial reckoning, with widespread protests despite the pandemic, driven by systemic racism and calls for justice.
