After protests over state violence, news coverage tends to focus on negative stories that can delegitimize dissent. Over time, that often yields to more nuance.

Former Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo says he wishes he had moved faster to change the culture of his department before the murder of George Floyd, which happened five years ago Sunday.

Sunday, May 25, from 12 to 8 p.m. at Phelps Field Park, 701 E. 39th St., Minneapolis, the organization hosts the Justice for George main event, which features live performances, muralists, a vendor fair and other opportunities for community connection.

On May 25, 2020, a white Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, who was Black, by kneeling on his neck for nine minutes during an arrest. The officer, Derek Chauvin, was convicted on murder charges.
