Local residents sit next to a mural painted in June 2020 showing George Floyd with the Swahili word “Haki” or “Justice” in the Kibera low-income neighborhood of Nairobi, Kenya, Wednesday, April 21, 2021. After three weeks of testimony, the trial of the former police officer charged with killing George Floyd ended swiftly: barely over a day of jury deliberations, then just minutes for the verdicts to be read – guilty, guilty and guilty – and Derek Chauvin was handcuffed and taken away to prison. The guilty verdict in the George Floyd trial was not just America's victory. It signaled hope for those seeking racial justice and fighting police brutality across the Atlantic.
