19 Year-Old Princeton Student: Being Black in the US is Like Suffocating
The death of George Floyd, a black man who died on Memorial Day after he was pinned down by a white police officer, has sparked protests across the United States and even abroad.
In France, the event has even revived anger over the death of Adama Traore a black Frenchman who died in police custody 4 years ago. Some 20,000 people demonstrated in Paris on Tuesday.
I met my guest at the Kneel for justice protest yesterday in Princeton.
