“I’m Still Learning”: The Journey of George Floyd’s Brother Philonise
Robert Samuels of The Washington Post profiles Philonise Floyd, George Floyd’s brother, who has become an activist since his brother’s murder. “I had confronted racism before, but I always just tried to take the high road,” he told Samuels. “When that officer killed him, my brother never got the chance to take the high road. Racism killed him. So now it is my duty to speak out.” He has felt his brother’s presence in church in recent weeks. “If justice could not come by the law, Philonise hoped peace could come through faith,” Samuels writes.
