HAPPENING TODAY: 6TH ANNUAL GEORGE FLOYD MEMORIAL LECTURE
Six years later… and the pain still echoes across humanity. Six years later… and the cry for justice still refuses to die. Six years later… and the world still wrestles with the same haunting question: How many more lives must be lost before the dignity of Black lives is fully protected, respected, and valued? This week marks the sixth anniversary of the murder of George Floyd — a moment that shook the conscience of the world and forced humanity to confront the brutal realities of racism, abuse of power, systemic injustice, and the dangerous dehumanization of people because of the colour of their skin. And yet, more than ever, we must not forget what happened. More than ever, we must not become numb. Because unfortunately, these tragedies continue to happen. On May 15, 2026, ten days to the sixth anniversary of George Floyd's murder, Yves Sakila, a 35-year-old Congolese-born man, was strangled by private security guards in Dublin, in the same devastating manner as George Floyd was. Another Black man murdered by law enforcement officers. Another Black child made fatherless. Another Black family is devastated. Another Black community traumatized. Another painful reminder that the struggle for justice, equity, accountability, and human dignity is far from over. This is not merely about one man. This is not even about being Black. This is about humanity. This is about conscience. This is about the soul of our societies. This is about whether we will continue to tolerate silence, indifference, hatred, and systemic injustice in the 21st century. THIS is why we must continue to educate, empower, unite, and speak. TODAY, RIGHT NOW, Thursday, May 28th, from Noon to 2 PM EST, we invite you to join us for a powerful Memorial Lecture marking the sixth anniversary of George Floyd’s passing.
