Dr. George Fraser and Troy James: Reflections on George Floyd 6 Years Later

"What if Black people were sent here not to be slaves, but to be the conscience of the nation? And what if we were sent here to teach America how to live up to its own ideals?" - @FrasernetTV This was a Memorial Day panel discussion hosted by Dr. Pam Perry, featuring Dr. George Fraser, Troy James, and Jade Simmons to reflect on the 6-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder and discuss the ongoing struggle against racial injustice. Dr. George shared his perspective on Black people being "sent here" not just for slavery but to serve as America's conscience, while Troy discussed his corporate background at Starbucks during 2020 and how he helped organize community service events that touched 145,000 lives across 83 cities. Jade Simmons, a concert pianist and minister running for US Senate as an independent in Texas, spoke about her decision to "arise and sign" petitions to get on the ballot and emphasized the need to move beyond personal platforms to build people-powered movements. The discussion also touched on a recent incident in Ireland where a Black man was killed in similar circumstances, highlighting that systemic issues persist globally.
