My hometown of Minneapolis erupted last May over a video that showed Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck until the life drained out of him. Within days, I headed there and met dozens of residents united in their fury and anguish.
Nearly a year later, after the announcement of Mr. Chauvin’s conviction on murder and manslaughter charges, once-moribund streets bloomed with displays of euphoria and relief. People hugged and cried, laughed and danced, and for a few hours at least, Minneapolis could exhale.
“I’m feeling super excited,” Trahern Crews, the lead organizer of Black Lives Matter Minnesota, told me. “It feels like a lot of hard work in the community has paid off. This sends a message to the world that Black lives do matter.”
