Darnella Frazier: 5 Things To Know About Teen Who Filmed The Viral Video Of George Floyd’s Arrest
Nearly a year before Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd, the path to justice began with footage captured by a 17-year-old high school student, Darnella Frazier. The teen witnessed the struggle between Floyd, an unarmed Black man and father, and the former Minneapolis police officer on May 25, 2020.
