The final moments of George Floyd’s life were brutal, killed by a police officer as he pleaded for his life, calling out “I can’t breathe”.

His murder exactly a year ago today shocked the world and sparked a global uprising of people demanding racial justice.

Those calls grew into deafening cries for equal rights from the Black Lives Matter movement.

Today Mr Floyd’s family were at the White House meeting President Biden as memorial services were held all over the US. But what if anything has changed since May 25th last year?
