One year ago Tuesday, on May 25, 2020, George Floyd died at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on Floyd's neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds.
Floyd's death launched protests around the country and across the globe, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. It led to calls for police reforms, such as those in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, currently awaiting discussion in the United States Senate.

And one month ago, it led to a murder conviction for Chauvin, who in April was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
On Sunday, Floyd's family held a rally in Minneapolis to mark the one-year anniversary.
Groups around Los Angeles are also advertising vigils, marches and at least one virtual commemoration on social media, all in honor of Floyd. Here is a sampling of those events.
