5/03/2025- Five Years Later... Reflections of the Murder of George Floyd

Author: KMOJ-89.9 FM “The People’s Station” June 16, 2025 Duration: 1:03:09

 The Memory Still Hurts

It’s been five years since the world watched George Floyd take his last breath under the knee of injustice. Five years since Minneapolis shook the globe and forced a reckoning. And still, the pain feels fresh. The anger still burns. The trauma still lingers.

In Part 1, we reflect. We hold space for the grief. For the outrage. For the memories etched into our minds—of protests, chants, tears, and a community demanding change.

What has changed since May 25, 2020? What hasn’t? How has this moment shaped us, our children, and the city we call home?

We’ll hear from community leaders, activists, and everyday people who were there—on the front lines and in the background—making history with their pain, their power, and their presence.
