George Floyd, Racism and Law Enforcement (in English and en Espanol)
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, an African American man, was killed while being arrested by the police. This led to community and national outrage, an FBI civil rights investigation and the firing of the officer, Derek Chauvin and three other officers who were also at the scene. On May 29, Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. On June 3, the charges against Chauvin were upgraded to second-degree murder and the three other officers were charged with aiding and abetting murder.
There is a larger context and history of African American men and boys who have been killed at the hands of the police, many of whom, like George Floyd, were unarmed. ADL created

Teaching about Racism, Violence, Inequity and the Criminal Justice System
For the past several years, there have been incidents of police officers involved in the deaths of Black and Latinx people. In many of these cases, the police officers responsible were not indicted and not convicted when brought to trial. These cases have brought about a wide range of emotions, conversations, policy proposals, protests and actions. Because this is an important conversation that teachers, parents and family members want to have with young people, below are relevant lesson plans, related curricula and additional anti-bias resources and strategies to help you discuss this topic with young people in school and at home.

Removal of Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond blocked by Judge
Virginia Govenor Ralph Northam announced last week that the statue of Lee would be removed from Monument Avenue in Richmond.
“In Virginia, we no longer practice a false version of history,” Northam said, ordering the statue removed “as soon as possible.”
Shortly after, a Richmond judge temporarily blocked the removal, granting a 10-day injunction sought by Virginia resident William C. Gregory, saying there is a likelihood of "irreparable harm" to the statue if it is removed. The judge stated that it would be within "the public interest" to "await resolution of this case on the merits prior to removal of the statue by defendants, and the public interest weighs in favor of maintaining the status quo."
