2013, the cofounders of the black lives matter movement gave us the phrase "black lives matter." three women, alicia garza, patrisse cullors, opal tometi. thank you. i know a lot of people have thought that phrase was alienating, that somehow it meant that other people did not matter and perhaps the deliberate misunderstanding of that phrase is how we got here. can you hear me now? you might remember that commercial. it was all about, can you connect while talking? we now know the connection in discussing the issue of race and police brutality was somehow interrupted over and over again and now we know-- we always knew-- that it was a matter of life and death. it's been the silent, and sometimes loud, plea

from black people, the "can you hear me now? "when will you hear me? how do i get your attention?" that was unheard. and then we saw this incredible vision over the past few weeks, a sea of young people from all backgrounds who said, collectively, "we're gonna break through the noise." the 24/7 rightful concerns of covid-19, the spiraling economy, all stopped because their revolution would be televised and we would have to watch. they're the generation of kids who watched the towers of 9/11 fall. many of them suffered from ptsd, anxiety attacks, because-- 19 years, imagine. they watched the images of the towers fall. some of them had parents there. they learned about it in school, they watched tv, 24 hour news cycle, but the cycling of the images of the towers falling had its impact.

i compare that to what black children have had to watch from many, many years, for 25 years, of images of people dying on camera. now, when i was a kid, we had a photo that was often shown to me of emmett till, the child who was murdered, and his mother, at the time of his funeral, said, "show his body," so they will never forget what happened to this innocent child, a victim of a hate crime. that was something i always grew up with. now you have young kids under the age of 30 who have constantly seen these images, but recently, they saw the beginning, the middle, and the end of a confrontation involving a black man, george floyd, and they watched his life end on tape. s that do to ahild? at does that create in one's heart? and what does that create

as it relates to the change that they want? well, it created a revolution. this is a long, hard road to change and we know that. there've been so many inspiring videos that i'm sure you've shared. i've seen them. i've shared them with my friends and family. but let's be real: there've been some gut punches too. in fact, i saw a video just this morning of two white men mocking the death of george floyd, one pretending to have his knee on the neck of the other. that is an example of why the road to change continues to be long and it is painful. you know that. so i wanted to hear from these young protestors that we've been seeing in the streets. perhaps they will be the barricade, they will be the new road, to change. so we're gonna dig into their hearts and hear from them. take a look. - at the end of the day, let's talk facts. guy's on the ground, he's laying on his stomach, he have handcuffs on.

it's four of y'all, one of him. four of y'all, one of him. who has control of the situation? - it's a marathon, not a sprint and this is an institution... [dramatic music] that our country was founded on. - we are here to care about black lives, not to ruin them. - for too long, we've been waiting for this time and now that we have our white allies and now that we have their attention-- - i stand here today exhausted. black minnesota, we're done dying. and white minnesota, you are done hiding. this has been a white wakanda for far too long where black bodies drop like flies. - joining me now from around the country, leslie redmond from minneapolis, ryan staples from o'fallon, missouri, ja'quay williams from north carolina, arianna evans from maryland, and hana smith from virginia. thank you all for joining me. leslie, let me start with you. you heard me. i compared this trauma to what kids experienced

watching 9/11. you are at ground zero of this latest crisis of police brutality, so i think about all of the videos, all of the moments captured on tape that you have been exposed to all of these years, and some without consequences, of black people being killed on camera. did you ever imagine that something like this would happen where you are? - i am, unfortunately, not surprised. i think for black people in america, white supremacy has always been the root issue for us and so i think that if you were asleep or if you had become elite, then maybe you had become comfortable enough to think that this was not our reality, but people who are still on the ground and who still, very much so, are impacted by the melanin that they have, i don't think they were surprised at all. this has been a long time coming. my hope is that our brother george floyd will be the last

and that we can actually see some systemic reform and change because as i said in a video before, we are done dying. - ryan, you were just 12 years old when michael brown was killed, the video released of him being shot, and that left a lot of room for some people to say, as they did, listen, when i was a younger woman with the rodney king, "what happened before? what--" you know, all of these missing pieces that jurors and some within the public say they needed, but with george floyd, what did you see in that video that made you know that this was the change? - what i saw is hatred. what i saw is generations of white people oppressing black people and through his eyes, you could see pure hatred. and whether you care about what happened before
