When I first heard the news of the murder of George Floyd at the hands of four police officers in Minneapolis, my immediate thought was, “Again?”

Unfortunately, as an American,news of this kind has become nothing of novelty. As my family watched George Floyd’s last breaths, a list of names began to run through my brain. Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, SandraBland, Philando Castile, Brenona Taylor, and countless others whose deaths I have seen on the news since as far back as I can remember.
