The death of George Floyd has sparked nationwide protests in the United States and also globally, with people calling for justice for the deceased and most importantly, an end to discrimination against Black people, because, #BlackLivesMatter.

Floyd passed away on May 25 after a Minneapolis cop was filmed with his knee on his neck for several minutes during an arrest, despite the victim being handcuffed and pleading he could not breathe.

Over the past couple of days, countless celebrities have taken to the streets to join the protests, further amplifying that enough is enough, and authorities need to put in considerable action to put an end to systemic racism in the United States.
