On May 25, George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes as he lay face-down and handcuffed. In a now-viral video, Floyd repeatedly tells the officer that he cannot breathe before going motionless.
This news comes on the heels of the killings of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, two other unarmed Black individuals whose deaths have drawn public attention and widespread outcry.
In the beginning of a summer long season of protest, the non-profit “Trauma Informed L.A.” hosted a Facebook live panel to discuss how communities of color process trauma and how to move forward in the current social climate.
