Activists and allies of the Black Lives Matter movement converged at Barclays Center to voice their outrage over the murder of George Floyd, which occurred earlier that week. Floyd's tragic fate was captured in a viral video, showcasing his desperate pleas for breath as Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for a harrowing 8 minutes and 46 seconds, a duration later corrected to 9 minutes and 29 seconds. The rally served not only as a memorial for Floyd but also as a powerful statement against systemic racism and police brutality. Demonstrators held signs that conveyed poignant messages, including one that proclaimed, *βIn the age of (in)formation, ignorance is a choice.β* This gathering underscored the urgent need for societal change and justice, echoing the collective demand for accountability and reform.
