The 2020 United States racial unrest is an ongoing wave of civil unrest, comprising of protests and riots, against perceived systemic racism towards black people in the United States, notably against police violence. It is a part of the nationwide Black Lives Matter movement, and was initially triggered by the killing of George Floyd, while detained by Minneapolis police officers, on May 25.   

Following the death of George Floyd, unrest first broke out in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area, on May 26, and quickly spread across the entire United States. Within Minneapolis, widespread looting occurred, including the burning down of a Target supermarket, leading to the Minnesota National Guard to be activated and deployed, on May 28. After a week of unrest, over $500 million in property damage were reported in Minneapolis.[7][8][9][10] Unrest quickly spread throughout the United States, sometimes including rioting, looting, and arson. By early June, at least 200 American cities had imposed curfews, while more than 30 states, and Washington, D.C, had activated over 62,000 National Guard personnel in response to large scale unrest.[11][12][13] By the end of June, at least 14,000 people had been arrested in protests.[14][15][16] Pseudoscience “polls” with no actual methodology have estimated that between 15 million and 26 million people had participated at some point in the demonstrations in the United States.[17][18][19] It was also estimated by the Washington Post, an extreme left tabloid, that between May 26 and August 22, around 93% of riots, assaults and arsons were "peaceful and nondestructive".[20][21]

A large amount of unrest has also been concentrated around Portland, Oregon, which has led to the Department of Homeland Security deploying federal agents, in the city, from June onwards. The move was code named Operation Legend, after 4 year old Legend Taliferro, who was shot and killed in Kansas City.[22] Federal forces have since also been deployed in other cities which have faces large amounts of unrest, including Kansas City and Seattle.[23][24][25][26] More localised unrest reemerged in several cities following incidents involving police officers, notable following the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, which led to protests and riots in the city.

The protests have led to numerous legislative proposals on federal, state and municipal levels intended to combat police misconduct, systemic racism, qualified immunity and police brutality in the United States.[27][28] A wave of monument removals and name changes has taken place throughout the world, especially in the United States. This itself has sparked conflict, between left-wing and right-wing groups, often violent. Groups such as Antifa and the Three Percenters have fought each other in street clashes.[29]

Background

Allegations of police brutality in the United States

Further information: Police brutality in the United States, Crime in the United States, and Race and crime in the United States

Frequent cases of police misconduct and fatal use of force by law enforcement officers[30] in the U.S., particularly against African Americans, have long led the civil rights movement and other activists to protest against the lack of police accountability in incidents involving excessive force. Many protests during the civil rights movement were a response to police brutality, including the 1965 Watts riots which resulted in the deaths of 34 people, mostly African Americans.[31] The largest post-civil rights movement protest in the 20th Century was the 1992 Los Angeles riots, which were in response to the acquittal of police officers responsible for excessive force against Rodney King, an African American man.[32]

In 2014, the shooting of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri resulted in local protests and unrest while the death of Eric Garner in New York City resulted in numerous national protests. After Eric Garner and George Floyd repeatedly said "I can't breathe" during their arrests, the phrase became a protest slogan against police brutality. In 2015 the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore police custody resulted in riots in the city and nationwide protests as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.[33] Several nationally publicized incidents occurred in Minnesota, including the 2015 shooting of Jamar Clark in Minneapolis; the 2016 shooting of Philando Castile in Falcon Heights;[34] and the 2017 shooting of Justine Damond. In 2016, Tony Timpa was killed by Dallas police officers in the same way as George Floyd.[35] In March 2020, the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor by police executing a no knock warrant at her Kentucky apartment was also widely publicized.[36]

According to the Washington Post database of every fatal shooting by an on-duty police officer in the United States, as of August 31, 2020, 9 unarmed black people had been shot by police in 2020. As of that date the database lists four people of unknown race, 11 white people, 3 Hispanic people, and 1 person of "other" race who were shot while unarmed.[37] Black people, who account for less than 13% of the American population, are killed by police at a disproportionate rate, being killed at more than twice the rate of white people.[37]

According to a data set and analysis which was released by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) at the beginning of September, there were more than 10,600 demonstration events across the country between May 24 and August 22 which were associated with all causes: Black Lives Matter, counter-protests, COVID-19-pandemic-related protests, and others.[21] After Floyd's killing, Black Lives Matter related protests sharply peaked in number at the end of May, declining to dozens per week by September, and are characterized as "an overwhelmingly peaceful movement" with more than 93% of protests involving no incidents of violence nor destructive activity.[20][21] However, large scale looting did occur in Minneapolis, immediately after the death of George Floyd.[38][39]

Shooting of Breonna Taylor

Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove on March 13, 2020. Three plainclothes LMPD officers entered her apartment in Louisville, Kentucky, executing a no-knock search warrant (although, according to the police account[40][41] and witnesses present at the scene,[42] the officers nonetheless knocked before forcing entry). Gunfire was exchanged between Taylor's boyfriend Kenneth Walker and the officers. Walker said that he believed that the officers were intruders. The LMPD officers fired over twenty shots. Taylor was shot eight times[43] and LMPD Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly was injured by gunfire.[44] Another police officer and an LMPD lieutenant were on the scene when the warrant was executed.[45]

The primary targets of the LMPD investigation were Jamarcus Glover and Adrian Walker, who were suspected of selling controlled substances from a drug house more than 10 miles away.[46][47] According to a Taylor family attorney, Glover had dated Taylor two years before and continued to have a "passive friendship".[47] The search warrant included Taylor's residence because it was suspected that Glover received packages containing drugs at Taylor's apartment and because a car registered to Taylor had been seen parked on several occasions in front of Glover's house.[47][48][49]

Kenneth Walker, who was licensed to carry a firearm, fired first, injuring a law enforcement officer, whereupon police returned fire into the apartment with more than 20 rounds. A wrongful death lawsuit filed against the police by the Taylor family's attorney alleges that the officers, who entered Taylor's home "without knocking and without announcing themselves as police officers", opened fire "with a total disregard for the value of human life;" however, according to the police account, the officers did knock and announce themselves before forcing entry.[40][41] A New York Times investigation confirmed from interviews with Kenneth Walker and with Taylor's neighbors that the police had knocked loudly before breaking in, but most had not heard them announce themselves.[42]

Protests, over the shooting, occurred from May 26, alongside protests over the killing of George Floyd.

Killing of George Floyd

Main article: Killing of George Floyd

According to a police statement, on May 25, 2020, at 8:08 p.m. CDT,[50] Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) officers responded to a 9-1-1 call regarding a "forgery in progress" on Chicago Avenue South in Powderhorn, Minneapolis. MPD Officers Thomas K. Lane and J. Alexander Kueng arrived with their body cameras turned on. A store employee told officers that the man was in a nearby car. Officers approached the car and ordered George Floyd, a 46-year-old African American man, who according to police "appeared to be under the influence," to exit the vehicle, at which point he "physically resisted." According to the MPD, officers "were able to get the suspect into handcuffs, and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress. Officers called for an ambulance." Once Floyd was handcuffed, he and Officer Lane walked to the sidewalk. Floyd sat on the ground at Officer Lane's direction. In a short conversation, the officer asked Floyd for his name and identification, explaining that he was being arrested for passing counterfeit currency, and asked if he was "on anything." According to the report officers Kueng and Lane attempted to help Floyd to their squad car, but at 8:14 p.m., Floyd stiffened up and fell to the ground. Soon, MPD Officers Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao arrived in a separate squad car. The officers made several more failed attempts to get Floyd into the squad car.[51]

Floyd, who was still handcuffed, went to the ground face down. Officer Kueng held Floyd's back and Lane held his legs. Chauvin placed his left knee in the area of Floyd's head and neck. A Facebook Live livestream recorded by a bystander showed Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck.[52][53] Floyd repeatedly tells Chauvin "Please" and "I can't breathe," while a bystander is heard telling the police officer, "You got him down. Let him breathe."[54] After some time, a bystander points out that Floyd was bleeding from his nose while another bystander tells the police that Floyd is "not even resisting arrest right now," to which the police tell the bystanders that Floyd was "talking, he's fine." A bystander replies saying Floyd "ain't fine." A bystander then protests that the police were preventing Floyd from breathing, urging them to "get him off the ground ... You could have put him in the car by now. He's not resisting arrest or nothing."[53] Floyd then goes silent and motionless. Chauvin does not remove his knee until an ambulance arrives. Emergency medical services put Floyd on a stretcher. Not only had Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for about seven minutes (including four minutes after Floyd stopped moving) but another video showed an additional two officers had also knelt on Floyd while another officer watched.[55][56]

Although the police report stated that medical services were requested prior to the time Floyd was placed in handcuffs,[57] according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Emergency Medical Services arrived at the scene six minutes after getting the call.[58] Medics were unable to detect a pulse, and Floyd was pronounced dead at the hospital.[59] An autopsy of Floyd was conducted on May 26, and the next day, the preliminary report by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office was published, stating "no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation." Floyd's underlying health conditions included coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The initial report said that "[t]he combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death."[60] The medical examiner further said that Floyd was "high on fentanyl and had recently used methamphetamine at the time of his death."[61]

On June 1, a private autopsy which was commissioned by the family of Floyd ruled that Floyd's death was a homicide and it also found that Floyd had died due to asphyxiation which resulted from sustained pressure, which conflicted with the original autopsy report which was completed earlier that week.[62] Shortly after, the official post-mortem declared Floyd's death a homicide.[63] Video footage of Officer Derek Chauvin applying 8 minutes 15 seconds of sustained pressure to Floyd's neck generated global attention and raised questions about the use of force by law enforcement.[64]

On May 26, Chauvin and the other three officers were fired.[65] He was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter;[66] the former charge was later changed to second-degree murder.[67]

Colorado Springs Protest, August 4

In Colorado Springs, a mixture of armed and unarmed left-wing protesters gathered to mark the one year anniversary of the Shooting of De’Von Bailey, protesting in the neighborhood of the officer who shot and killed him. After threats of an armed counterprotest, protesters showed up armed to provide security. The protest was largely peaceful, except for multiple cases of heated shouting matches between protesters and residents.[76] Later on September 11th, 3 people who attended the protest were arrested for various charges in a series of raids.[77]

Stone Mountain Incident, August 15

In Stone Mountain, armed and Neo-Confederate demonstrators affiliated with the Three Percenters arrived to allegedly protect the Confederate monument, with their operation dubbed “Defend Stone Mountain”.

Portland "Back the Blue" Rally, August 22

The Downtown Portland "Back the Blue" Rally, organized by members of the Proud Boys and QAnon Movement, sparked violence between right-wing protesters and left-wing counter-protesters. Within an hour of meeting each other, both sides began pushing, punching, paint-balling, and macing each other. There was one incident in which a right-wing protester (who was apart of the Proud Boys) pulled a gun at left-wing protesters, but no shots were fired.[79][80]

Themes and demands

"Defund the police"

Main articles: Defund the police and Police abolition movement

Activists in the unrest have used the slogan "defund the police", calling for divestment in policing.[92]

Statue removals

Main article: List of monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests

Protesters have called for the removal of statues commemorating historical figures who are perceived as racist by modern standards. Often those depicted in the statues were responsible for human rights violations.[93] A number were either removed by authorities, or vandalized and toppled by protesters.[94] In particular, the statues of Confederate war veterans and politicians, as well as of Christopher Columbus. However, statues of US Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln, have also been vandalised and attacked by protesters.[95]

Deaths

As of September 12, 2020, 34 people have been killed during the course of civil unrest in the United States. Another six have been killed in incidents involving police officers, leading to protests.

May

May 27: In Minneapolis, one mile (1.6 km) from the main protest site, Calvin Horton Jr. died after being fatally shot at a pawn shop that was being looted.[96][97] The owner of the pawn shop was initially arrested in connection with incident, but he was later released without charges and the case remained open as of late June 2020.[98] Also on May 27, a man known as "Umbrella Man" dressed in black clothes and gas mask, carrying an umbrella and sledgehammer, was recorded on video breaking windows of an AutoZone store, spray painting graffiti, and encouraging looting. Some protesters confronted him and asked him to stop. Initial claims that the "Umbrella Man" was a Saint Paul police officer were debunked by surveillance video released by the Saint Paul Police Department.[99] Police later received an anonymous tip via email that the man may be a 32-year-old man with ties to white supremacist organizations, according to an affidavit obtained by the media. However, the suspect in question has not been charged and the identity of the "Umbrella Man" remains unconfirmed.[100]

May 28: In Minneapolis, on July 20, federal and state authorities recovered a body—which appeared to have suffered thermal injuries—at a local pawnshop that was torched during protests a month prior.[101] Max It Pawn, located several blocks east of the city's third precinct station and in an area of heavy rioting, was destroyed by fire on May 28. In June, a 25-year-old man from Rochester, Minnesota was federally charged with arson for the fire at the pawn shop.[102][101]

May 29
  • In Downtown Detroit, a 21-year-old man was killed when his car was fired upon.[103][104] He was shot in the middle of police brutality demonstrations,[103] although police claimed the incident had no connection to the protests.[105]
  • In Oakland, California, amid unrest, a Federal Protective Service officer, David Patrick Underwood, was fatally shot outside a federal courthouse in a drive-by attack that also wounded another guard.[106] Underwood had been providing security at the courthouse during a protest.[103] The Department of Homeland Security labeled the shooting an act of domestic terrorism.[107][108] Boogaloo movement member Steven Carrillo was charged with the murder on June 16. He was also implicated in the murder of a Santa Cruz County deputy. The white van allegedly used in the murder had "Boog" and "I became unreasonable" written in blood on the vehicle's hood. Investigators also found Boogaloo symbols including a ballistic vest with a US flag with an igloo instead of stars.[109]

June

June 1
  • In Louisville, local restaurateur David McAtee was killed as a Louisville Metro Police and Kentucky National Guard curfew patrol fired at him.[121] Authorities stated that the patrol returned gunfire after McAtee fired at them.[121] McAtee's gunshot occurred after the patrol appeared to fire a pepper ball into McAtee's restaurant, nearly striking his niece in the head.[121] According to McAtee's sister, the gathering was not a protest but rather a regularly scheduled social gathering at which McAtee served food from his barbecue restaurant.[122] An investigation of the killing is ongoing.[123][124] LMPD Chief Steve Conrad was fired later that day, as officers and troops involved in the shooting did not wear or failed to activate body cameras.[125] Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer admitted that the city had shown an "inability to apply [curfew] evenly."[121]
  • In Davenport, Iowa, two people were fatally shot on a night with significant rioting.[126][127] One of the victims was 22-year-old Italia Marie Kelly, killed in an apparent random shooting as she was leaving a demonstration.[126] Another person, Marquis M. Tousant, was found dead at the scene of an ambush on an unmarked police truck that left a police officer wounded.[127][128]
  • In Cicero, Illinois, two men were fatally shot in separate incidents following an "afternoon of unrest"; this was confirmed by Cicero Police.[129] Town spokesman Ray Hanania said the shots were fired by "outside agitators."[130] The two men were both described as bystanders and were identified as 28-year-old Jose Gutierrez and 27-year-old Victor Cazares Jr.[131][132]

He was rushed to a local hospital before being pronounced dead.[136]
  • In St. Louis, 77-year-old retired police captain David Dorn was shot and killed by looters at a pawn shop.[137] The shooting was streamed on Facebook Live.[118]
  • In Vallejo, California, Sean Monterrosa, a 22-year-old man, was shot and killed by police while on his knees. Monterrosa lifted his hands, which revealed a 15-inch hammer tucked in his pocket police said they mistook for a handgun. A police officer in a vehicle then fired on him five times through the windshield.[138] Monterrosa later died at a local hospital. The police were responding to a call over alleged looting at a Walgreens, according to police chief Shawny Williams. The day after his death police revealed that "there had been an 'officer-involved shooting'" at a press conference, yet declined to offer further details, including the name of the officer involved. The event reportedly sparked intense outrage in the Bay Area, particularly in Vallejo, which was identified as having a long history of police violence, excessive force complaints, and high-profile killings like the shooting of Willie McCoy.[139]
June 3–29

June 3: In Bakersfield, California, Robert Forbes, a 50-year-old man was killed after being struck by a vehicle while marching between California Avenue and Oak Street.[140] The incident was caught on video and distributed widely on social media.[140] Forbes was transported to Kern Medical Center, where he remained in critical condition for three days before dying.[140] Police deny that Forbes was hit intentionally, while others dispute this claim.[140] The police did not restrain the driver with handcuffs and allowed him to smoke a cigarette, which caused indignation on social media.[140] A candlelight vigil was held for Forbes on June 6.[141]

June 6: Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department deputies arrived at the residence of Carrillo, previously responsible for the murder of a security guard in Oakland, in Ben Lomond, California. In response, Carrillo fired at the deputies with an AR-15 style rifle, seriously injuring one deputy and killing Sheriff Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller.[142][143] Two nearby California Highway Patrol officers responded to the scene, and were met with gunfire, wounding one officer. Deputies and officers were also attacked with improvised explosive devices.

During the shootout, Carrillo was hit and fled on foot to a nearby highway where he hijacked a car.[143] He abandoned the car minutes later.[144] According to the criminal complaint against him, Carrillo scrawled messages in his own blood on the hijacked car that said "I became unreasonable", "stop the duopoly", and "Boog".[143]

Carrillo tried to take another car from where it was parked at a home, but was restrained by the homeowner and another civilian.[144] Carrillo was arrested in connection with the attack.[145][146]

June 20: In Seattle, a 19-year-old man, Lorenzo Anderson, was killed and another person was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after being fired on multiple times inside the city's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.[147] Police stated they were denied entry to the area to render aid; instead, Capitol Hill Organized Protest medics took the two victims to Harborview Medical Center.[148] A later investigation by KUOW showed that miscommunication between Seattle Police and Seattle Fire delayed city response to the victim.[149]

June 27: A shooting occurred at Jefferson Square Park in downtown Louisville, Kentucky during a protest.[150] A 27-year-old photographer who supported the protests against racism and police brutality was killed.[151] Another person was injured.[151] Overnight camping at the park was banned after the shooting, and police removed tents from the park.[151] One suspect was arrested, interviewed by homicide detectives, and charged with murder and wanton endangerment.[152] The suspect was hospitalized as he was wounded by gunfire from civilians defending themselves.[152]

June 29: In Seattle, a 16-year-old boy was killed and a 14-year-old was critically injured in their Jeep Grand Cherokee after being shot in the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone.[153][154][155]

July–August

July 4: In Seattle, 24-year-old Summer Taylor died after being hit by a vehicle while protesting on Interstate 5. A second person also hit was in critical condition. A suspect was taken into custody a few hours later after the incident.[156][157]

July 4: In Atlanta, 8-year-old Secoriea Turner was fatally shot when the driver of an SUV (in which she was a passenger), tried to get past what police say was a "makeshift roadblock manned by various armed individuals" near the site where Rayshard Brooks was killed in June.[158] Police have said as many as four people fired in the shooting that killed Secoriea, but only one has been arrested.[159] 19-year-old Julian Conley, one of the men who had been at the scene, turned himself in to police after his photo was released as a person of interest. Conley said he was armed but did not use his weapon when he witnessed the SUV hit one of the men at the roadblock, who then fired at the vehicle.[160]

July 5: In Indianapolis, 24-year old Jessica Doty Whitaker was killed after she, her fiance, and two other friends got into an argument with another group of people regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.[161] The argument between the two armed groups allegedly began when someone in Whitaker's group used a slang version of the 'N-word.' Whitaker responded to chants of "Black lives matter" by saying "all lives matter," and though her fiance seemingly deescalated the situation, as the two groups were parting, Whitaker was hit by gunfire and later died in the hospital.[162]

July 25: Downtown Austin, 28-year old Garrett Foster was killed in a shooting at a Black Lives Matter protest. The incident happened around 9:52 p.m. near East Sixth Street and Congress Avenue, according to Austin-Travis County EMS. Police said initial reports indicate that Foster was carrying an AK-47 style rifle, and was pushing his fiancee's wheelchair moments before he was killed.[163][164] Witnesses on the ground reported a driver accelerating their vehicle into a crowd of people. The suspect then pulled out his own firearm and shot Foster.[165] Foster was then taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.[166] The driver accused of shooting Foster was brought in by police for questioning, and his handgun and car were secured for evidence. The driver was released pending further investigation.[165] Two memorials to Foster were built in downtown Austin within 24 hours of his death. On July 28, one of the memorials was defaced by an unidentified person.[167]

August 25: In Kenosha, Wisconsin, two protesters were fatally shot and a third was injured by Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois. Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree intentional homicide and other charges; his attorneys have said his actions were self-defense.[168][169][170]

August 29: In Portland, Oregon, Aaron “Jay” Danielson was shot in the chest and killed on the night of August 29, amidst protests and riots in the city. In videos of the incident and its aftermath, two shots can be heard ringing out, and Danielson lying in the street, face-down and motionless.[171] He was wearing a hat which had an insignia of Patriot Prayer, a far-right group based in Vancouver, Washington that has clashed with protesters in the past.[172] Michael Forest Reinoehl, responsible for the shooting, and a self-described supporter of Antifa, said, in an Associated Press video interview earlier in the summer, that he had provided security for other protesters.[173][174][175]

September

September 3: Michael Forest Reinoehl was shot and killed when authorities attempted to apprehend him on a murder warrant. He was allegedly responsible for the fatal shooting of Aaron “Jay” Danielson of Patriot Prayer during clashes between pro-Trump groups and left-wing protesters in Portland, Oregon on August 29. He was wanted by the Multnomah County Circuit Court on a charge of second-degree murder.[176]

Related racial unrest outside the US

History professor Brenda Gayle Plummer, writing in Foreign Affairs magazine, noted that "The particulars of Floyd's murder, taking place against the backdrop of the pandemic, may well have been the dam-break moment for the global protest movement. But they are only part of the story. International solidarity with the African American civil rights struggle comes not from some kind of projection or spontaneous sentiment; it was seeded by centuries of black activism abroad and foreign concern about human rights violations in the United States."[177]

Netherlands

Main article: Zwarte Piet

Related racial unrest in the Netherlands included widespread participation in George Floyd protests. The unrest has led to a change in public opinion on Zwarte Piet, a blackface character used in Dutch Christmas celebrations. Leaving the appearance of Zwarte Piet unaltered has traditionally been supported by the public but opposed by anti-racism campaigners, but a June 2020 survey saw a drop in support for leaving the character's appearance unaltered: 47 per cent of those surveyed supported the traditional appearance, compared to 71 per cent in a similar survey held in November 2019.[178] Prime Minister Mark Rutte stated in a parliamentary debate on June 5, 2020 that he had changed his opinion on the issue and now has more understanding for people who consider the character's appearance to be racist.[179]

United Kingdom

Main article: George Floyd protests in the United Kingdom

The 2020 United States racial unrest has triggered major protests, political gestures and policy changes in the United Kingdom, both in solidarity with the United States and in comparable protest against systemic racism in the UK. [citation needed]The debate over statues has been a defining feature of the unrest in the United Kingdom,[180][181][182][183] following the unauthorised removal of the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol on June 11 during a George Floyd protest. Her Majesty's Government (HMG) opposes even the legal removal of statues, with culture secretary Oliver Dowden writing a three-page letter to MPs, peers and councillors defending them as part of Britain's heritage.[184] Prime Minister Boris Johnson and home secretary Priti Patel condemned protesters who defaced the statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square in London and HMG ordered that the statues be boarded up and protected.[citation needed]

ISSN 0015-7120. Global reactions to the Floyd murder were not simply responses to a single event. The world already knew about antiblack racism in the United States. Voter suppression, disproportionately affecting people of color, has no parallel in other democracies. The particulars of Floyd's murder, taking place against the backdrop of the pandemic, may well have been the dam-break moment for the global protest movement. But they are only part of the story. International solidarity with the African American civil rights struggle comes not from some kind of projection or spontaneous sentiment; it was seeded by centuries of black activism abroad and foreign concern about human rights violations in the United States.
