arrow In Brooklyn on April 20, 2021 Scott Lynch / Gothamist There are multiple actions, protests and rallies planned around the city Tuesday to mark the one year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, whose death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer sparked outrage and civil rights protests across the country over the last year. Mayor Bill de Blasio joined Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network in Harlem in the afternoon where they and other city leaders spoke about Floyd and his legacy. In his honor, they kneeled for nine minutes and 29 seconds—the amount of time that former officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee to Floyd's neck and back.
