'''George Floyd''' was a black man who was killed by [[police]] in [[2020]]. A video of his death showed him pleading to breathe and for his mother. This video spread on [[social media]] and, despite the [[COVID-19]] lockdown, it sparked [[protest]]s in the [[United States of America|United States]] and the [[United Kingdom]]; this included people tearing down statues, including one of [[Edward Colston]] in [[Bristol]]. | |||
[[Lucy Wilson]]'s parents didn't want her to watch the video, but she felt it was an important thing to see. It drove her to tears and it changed her outlook on [[racism]]. Lucy made a [[Black Lives Matter]] poster and attended a peaceful protest in [[Ogmore-by-Sea]] with [[Hobo Kostinen]]. [[Megan Kostinen|Hobo's mother]] told him to stay away from the protests due to the presence of dangerous elements. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[8.46 (short story)|8.46]]'') | |||
During her return to [[St Luke's University]] in Bristol, [[Bill Potts]] also attended a march while social distancing, saying "not all [[Cybermen]] have got [[Side handle|handles]] on their [[Cyber-helmet|heads]]" to explain what had happened to [[Nardole]].
