Summary
The progressive Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is a man of many firsts. He's the first African American to hold a statewide elected office in Minnesota, and the first Muslim American to hold an elected statewide office in any state. A former Congressman Ellison ran for and won the Attorney General's position in 2018. In 2020, Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz asked Ellison to take over as a special prosecutor in the death of George Floyd. Ellison charged Derek Chauvin with murder and won a conviction. It is very unusual for police officers to be held criminally liable for deaths caused by them in the line of duty. Now Ellison has written a about the case and police violence, entitled Break the Wheel: Ending the Cycle of Police Violence.
