George Floyd & Eric Garner: History Repeating Itself

Описание: George Floyd vs Eric Garner — What Really Changed Since “I Can’t Breathe”
In this full documentary-style breakdown, we follow two videos, two last breaths, and two movements that forced the world to look—Eric Garner (2014) and George Floyd (2020). We’ll unpack what happened, why the footage mattered, how the law responded (or didn’t), and what real change looks like going forward.
