In the past two weeks, sweeping and previously unthinkable things have taken place: confederate statues have been toppled, police departments around America have rethought the way they patrol minority neighbourhoods, legislatures have debated use-of-force policies, and white, black and brown people have had uncomfortable, sometimes heated, discussions about race in a country that is supposed to ensure equal opportunity for all.
Meanwhile, former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday the time to end racial injustice in America is "now," as he addressed by video the funeral of George Floyd, whose death in custody triggered worldwide protests against racism.
