Five years after George Floyd's murder, a TIME Impact Dinner highlighted the ongoing struggles for racial justice amidst a backlash against reforms. While some accountability was achieved, systemic issues persist, and many calls for police reform and diversity initiatives have been rolled back. Speakers, including Dr. Phillip Atiba Solomon of the Center for Policing Equity, emphasized the need for collective truth-telling and accountability to make meaningful progress. Despite the challenges posed by political and cultural retrenchment, the struggle for justice continues, urging reflection and sustained action from communities across America.
"The goal was never just to see a few individuals imprisoned but to transform the conditions that allowed such violence in the first place."
"If we can't tell our truths, then the ways that we try to become a better version of ourselves are not possible."
