Floyd verdict gives hope, if only fleeting, to
Black America
By AARON MORRISON and KAT STAF-
FORD Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS
(AP) — Relief, even if fleeting and momen-
tary, is a feeling that Black Americans have
rarely known in America: From slavery to Jim
Crow segregation to enduring punishments
for living while Black, a breath of fresh air
untainted by oppression has long been hard
to come by.
Nonetheless, the conviction of ex-cop Derek
Chauvin for murdering George Floyd nearly a
year ago allowed many across this city and the na-
tion to exhale pent-up anxiety — and to inhale a
sense of hope.
But what might they feel hope for?
The fate of Chauvin — found guilty of murder
and manslaughter for holding a knee to Floyd's
neck, choking off his breathing until he went

rights leader Martin Luther King III, echoing a
sentiment that many expressed Tuesday.
"But we have to constantly stay on the battlefield
in a peaceful and nonviolent way and make de-
mands," he said. "This has been going on for years
and one case, one verdict, does not change how
systematic racism has worked in our system."
Alexandria De La Cruz, a Minneapolis mother,
brought her 7-year-old daughter to the inter-
section near where Floyd was murdered, now
dubbed George Floyd Square. Along with the
hundreds who gathered there — Black, white and
otherwise — De La Cruz erupted in cheers after
it was announced Chauvin was guilty on all three
