‘The work continues’: Black Americans stress that police reform is still needed

The Obamas and Bernice King were among those to encourage justice for other victims of police brutality after the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict

Prominent Black Americans expressed relief after white former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, but warned that police reform, and justice for other victims of police brutality, are still necessary.

While Chauvin was found guilty of all the charges he faced - second- and third-degree murder, and manslaughter - by the jury in Minneapolis, the families of other Black Americans killed by police in recent years have yet to see their killers jailed, or even face a jury.
