Minneapolis Remembers George Floyd 3 Years After His Murder Set Off Historic Protests
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Minneapolis, community members gathered Thursday for a vigil at the
intersection where George Floyd was murdered three years ago by police
officers. A daylong festival and concert are planned for Saturday. Other
cities around the country also held memorials and protests.

In related news, The Guardian reports U.S. cities will pay at least $80
million to racial justice protesters who were violently attacked by
police in various incidents during the Black Lives Matter uprising
following Floyd's killing in 2020. That number, already record-breaking,
is expected to go up as pending lawsuits are resolved.
