Five Years Later: We Remember. We Resist. Today, we honor the life of George Floyd. Not with celebration—but with truth. We are not where we should be. Progress has come, but so has resistance. Grief still lingers. And yet—we remain resolved. As Adair Mosley, CEO of The Forum, shares: “Five years after George Floyd’s murder, I stand at the crossroads of grief and resolve. . .

Today’s conversation wasn’t just about data – it was about truth, memory, and the future we’re brave enough to build. Dr. Andre Perry and Amber Jones sat together, not just as scholars, but as visionaries, kin, and witnesses to what’s possible when we center Black power on our terms. From life expectancy to homeownership, joy to justice – we explored how liberation is not a destination, but an ongoing invitation. An invitation to dream bigger. To be accountable. To build systems that honor our wholeness. Because liberation is about kin. It’s about care. It’s about the courage to reimagine everything. Missed the live stream?
