When George Floyd’s aunt, Angela Harrelson, thinks about the way her nephew died, she said she realizes “he did die of bravery.”
“He wanted to live, he fought for eight minutes and 46 seconds. He did not want to give up,” said Harrelson said, as she and Floyd’s uncle, Selwyn Jones, spoke to the Quinnipiac University community during a Zoom webinar moderated by minister and activist Nyle Fort.
During the event, Harrelson and Jones recounted their nephew’s legacy and what his death means for Black Americans going forward.
Harrelson said, about her nephew fighting to live, “And when I actually thought about that, I said ‘you know what, he didn’t die of dignity, but he did die of bravery,’ and that’s what got me going.”
Participants from the university on the virtual event submitted questions and shared thoughts with Harrelson and Jones. The open discussion detailed the broader narrative of Floyd’s life and death as a Black man while chronicling prejudicial norms, the fight against racism and what hope looks like. -

giving a fake $1 bill to a store - not a crime, no evidence he knew it was a fake bill
this police interaction did not need to happen
