Obama hosts ‘reimagining policing’ town hall in wake of George Floyd’s death
Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday will host a virtual town hall to address the recent killings of unarmed black Americans, including George Floyd, and the days of protests that have followed.
“The killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the loss of far too many Black lives to list, have left our nation anguished and outraged,” reads a message about the town hall on the Obama Foundation's website. “While now is a time for grief and anger, it is also a time for resolve. ... We can take steps and make reforms to combat police violence and systemic racism within law enforcement.
On Monday, he addressed the nationwide protests, praising the “overwhelming majority” of peaceful demonstrators, condemning the violence brought on by a “small minority” and calling on a “new generation of activists” to “bring about real change.”
