Black Lives Matter
Tianna, 19, addresses a ‘Black Lives Matter’ gathering in Hyde Park, in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, USA on the 25 May 2020. Ex Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee, with assistance from two other officers into George Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes, despite his pleas of "I can't breathe," This has becoming a rallying cry for racial injustice and has sparked off protests all over the world.
Tianna says “I’m here to uplift my people and to get justice, change and dismantle the systematic racism that exists in the country, the world and has been going on for more than 400 years. I want to empower my people, these are my ancestors. I am fighting for the lives of the future and the past, I’m fighting for everybody, all of my brothers and sisters”.
