Palmer expressed her yearning for change in America in a new personal essay.
They didn't join the march; however, some knelt. During these protests, kneeling has become a sign of solidarity to the movement, although many see it as a meaningless gesture if not attached to greater material change. Palmer expanded,"Kneeling has become a mockery of sorts. Kneeling on George Floyd's neck is what killed him. Now we see police officers kneeling and then, moments later, attacking peaceful protesters. At this point, the kneeling has no meaning.
She goes on to say that she's ready for radical change."I have waited for a revolution, I believe, my entire life," she wrote."I feel it's like this for many millennials; messages about following rules and staying in line have since evolved into calls to stand up and get others to stand with you, to challenge authority and recognize different life experiences while gathering with others who are like-minded.
Since George Floyd was killed by a white police officer near the end of May, uprisings have erupted across the world. Protests continue daily in major American cities and small-town suburbs, defying curfews and confronting militarized police. In the United Kingdom, protesters have taken matters into their own hands,and throwing it into a river. And demonstrations have taken place in more far-flung locations, including Korea, Japan, and Iran.
