George Floyd's death highlights US struggle with racial tensions It’s happened again. Another black man has died at the hands of a white police officer, and Americans are again in mourning. The official account from Minneapolis police was short and lacked detail. An allegation of forgery. Mass protest as Minneapolis rocked by fatal police arrest But the video that emerged hours later told a drastically different story. For nine excruciating minutes, the officer continued to hold his handcuffed victim firmly against the concrete as bystanders called on him to stop. Repeated pleas for air by the alleged suspect — “I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe” — also went ignored. The face of this latest act of police brutality is 46-year-old George Floyd. The video, captured by a passer-by, went viral on social media.

Montgomery Bus Boycott: A Victory for Civil Rights – Speakeasy News Sixty years ago, on 20 December, 1956, Martin Luther King and his fellow campaigners won a first victory in the long battle for African-American civil rights. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, which had begun when Rosa Parks famously refused to move to the back of the bus, finally ended after 381 days, when the Supreme Court ruled bus segregation illegal. But Rosa Parks wasn’t the first African American woman to refuse to give up her seat in a Montgomery bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on 1 December, 1955. Colvin was arrested. But Colvin wasn’t forgotten. Boycott When Rosa Parks, a middle-aged, eminently respectable NAACP activist refused to move to the back of the bus, this time the community felt it had found its spokesperson. In parallel, the NAACP decided it was time to challenge bus segregation in court. On 13 November 1956, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the plaintiffs in Browder vs Gayle (William Gayle was the mayor of Montgomery).
