Hey there, it's Elahe, and this is Post Report's weekend.

Five years ago, a man named George Floyd was murdered by police officers in Minneapolis.

A lot has changed since then, and a lot hasn't changed.

Floyd's murder sparked massive protests for racial justice around the country. There were calls

for police reform, reparations, closing the racial wealth gap. But just five years later,

it seems like the pendulum has swung back the other way. President Donald Trump is dismantling

diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Just this week, the Justice Department said it was abandoning police reform deals it had with Minneapolis and Louisville, cities where there were high-profile killings by police officers.

In light of all of this and on the anniversary of George Floyd's death, I wanted to share a really special episode of Post reports.

It was made in the fall of 2020, and it's called The Life of George Floyd.

My co-host, Martin Powers, and our colleagues here at the Post, looked at who George Floyd actually was.

His name had become synonymous with a movement,

but he was also a person.

And his story can tell us a lot about being black in America.

I hope you find this episode as revealing and moving as I did.

I just want to say, man, that I got my shortcomings and my flowers.

I ain't better than nobody else.

But, man, the shootings that's going on, man.

I don't care.

Who are you from, man?

Where you are you at, man?

I love you and God love you, man.
