Hey so I decided to come back to this book to talk about something very important.

As you may or may not know on May 25th, 2020 a black man named George Floyd was killed by a police officer because of the color of his skin.

George was originally arrested over a 20 dollar check when the four officers.

Tou Thao
Derek Chauvin
J Alexander Kueng
Thomas Lane

Suffocated George.

For 8 minutes George begged for his life.

He repeatedly said that he could not breathe

George died because he was black.

Each officer could be seen with their knee somewhere on his body.

Derek Chauvin was the one who was seen with his knee on George's neck causing the death as the others did nothing.

Each officer has been charged thankfully.

However this murder caused America to riot.

All 50 states are now protesting.

There are protest in different countries as people of color demand equality.

As a black girl in America I admit that I'm afraid.

I'm afraid that I'd be killed because of the color of my skin.

The protest have turned into looting.

America is turning into a war zone.

I want to say everyone to please stay safe.

There is a petition in my bio that you can sign for George.

If I find anymore info on how to help I'll post them.

If you have any info on how to help please comment them for me and others.

If you go protesting hide your face, wear googles, bring water, and stay safe please.

Black lives matter
We want equality
And in 2020 we will get it.

I love you guys
Be careful✊🏾💜
