Change in black leadership after George Floyd death

The struggle for racial equality will continue over many generations. Progress is an aspirational goal, but it is not guaranteed. What is scary is that you now have people saying that we should not be discussing slavery or Jim Crow in our schools because it is uncomfortable. Until this nation, both Black and white, is willing to have an honest discussion about its history of systemic and institutionalized racism, we are going to find it difficult to make real progress. The George Floyd moment for my generation was Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black boy who was murdered and hung in Mississippi because he allegedly whistled at a white woman. The people who lynched him were acquitted by an all-white jury. What fo you think has really changed ?
