Rosie Smith 27 is interviewed by a film crew at Parliament Square as ‘Black Lives Matter’ protestors gather 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.
Rosie says “I just want some change and acknowledgement and that its not just the white mans history. I’m mixed race so my grandfather on the white side was in the Navy, he brought my family to Hong Kong, so I are up in China and move to Britain when I was 17 and couldn’t believe the devision in this country, so it would be nice to just have United Kingdom”.
