On May 26, the world saw the beginning of what would be the largest set of protests in our nation’s history—demonstrations that brought together millions of Americans despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Just like a virus, the outrage over the death of George Floyd spread worldwide to more than two thousand cities and dozens of countries. 

People of all ages, nationalities, ethnic origins, and members of the LGBTQ+ community united their voices to demand justice and an end to racism, but what happens next?

Three hours of special coverage on Spectrum News 1 address the important conversations around trauma, healing, activism, education, and allyship. Experts in psychology, parenting, and civil rights break down what can be done individually and collectively to keep moving toward a more equitable society.
