Former President Barack Obama said Friday the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in Minneapolis police custody this week, 'shouldn't be 'normal' in 2020 America.'
And although many Americans wished the world could return to"normal" amid the coronavirus pandemic and an economic crisis, Obama wrote that for many Americans,"being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully, maddeningly 'normal' — whether it's dealing with the health care system, or interacting with the criminal justice system."
"If we want our children to grow up in a nation that lives up to its ideals, we can and must do better," Obama wrote. Ensuring justice for Floyd, Obama wrote, will fall mostly on the investigations by Minnesota officials, but he implored every American — including those in law enforcement — to work towards a"'new normal' in which the legacy of bigotry and unfair treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts."
