Five years after George Floyd's murder, which catalyzed a racial reckoning in America, efforts towards diversity, equity, and inclusion are being dismantled. The national focus shifted towards police reform and racial equity following his death, but momentum has declined, with corporations backing away from financial commitments to racial justice. Recent moves by the Justice Department to step back from law enforcement reforms highlight this stagnation. Experts indicate that while protests were seen as hopeful for transformative change, the actual outcomes have fallen short of expectations.
