Darnella Frazier, the young Black woman who recorded the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department, has recently been honored with the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in Special Citations and Awards.
Announced today, the City of Minneapolis has agreed to pay George Floyd's family $27 million to settle the civil lawsuit they filed back in July following the murder of Floyd at the hands of the city's police in 2020.
During a recent interview, George Floyd's fiancée Courteney Ross, a White woman, discouraged protests and people being hateful and mad in the wake of his death.
"I am a minor! 17 years old, of course I’m not about to fight off a cop I’m SCARED," Darnella Frazier wrote on Facebook.
"They treated him worse than they treat animals," said George's brother Philonise.
Local activists and supporters have planned a demonstration in Minneapolis on Tuesday night at the intersection where the event occurred.
