Good morning.
On Tuesday, Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, was convicted of murdering George Floyd, the Black man whose death under Mr. Chauvin’s knee led to a nationwide uprising against police brutality last summer.
The news was met with a kind of collective sigh of relief, a moment of catharsis that reverberated across the country. In California, where some of the nation’s most notorious police violence has taken place, it was also a stinging reminder of calls for justice that activists say have gone unanswered.
