Five years after George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer, the future of the intersection where it happened is uncertain. Today, a memorial is set up in the partially blocked street.

A series of community events in Minneapolis will honor the life of George Floyd on Friday, as organizers hope to create a space for healing, reflection and a commitment to racial justice. The second annual Day of Remembrance began with an interfaith prayer in front of the Hennepin County Government Center.

Progress toward more fair policing could be undermined by a push from some activists and lawmakers on the political right to get President Donald Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin, as his administration moves to end federal policing oversight.

Activist Christian Matthew recalls being stirred up by the video that spread like wildfire on social media: Floyd's killing at the hands of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin as he gasped for air.

The noteworthy anniversary comes as newsrooms face a radically different political landscape as the Trump administration targets civil rights.

The family of George Floyd made a promise to the community around 38th and Chicago in Minneapolis to give back $500,000 through a fund started in his name.
