Since we know George Floyd's death with tragic clarity, we must
know Floyd's America - and life - with tragic clarity. His Name Is
George Floyd is essential for our times.
*Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist*
'In this age of misinformation, where the victims of police
killings are made out to be the problem, this humanising of Floyd
is necessary... Samuels and Olorunnipa's greatest triumph is
placing Floyd's life in the context of white supremacy.'
