Selma Blair took to Instagram to share how she and her son, Arthur, are honoring George Floyd. The 47-year-old actress said they "stood outside for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to just think of what George Floyd means for each of us from where we are." "What he represents also," she added. "After a conversation again today about race and fear and sometimes insurmountable financial challenges, of black lives...we finally looked at each other after this memorial of 8:46, and he said, 'You wouldn't live if that happened to me.'" Blair said her 8-year-old son "is mostly right." However, she said she would devote her life to fighting against injustice. "But I would stand up for people like him for the rest of my life," she continued.
