The future of our world is being built by women and girls. We must do everything we can to ensure that all women and girls—no matter where they live—have the opportunity to succeed. #InternationalWomensDay
It’s #WomensHistoryMonth! We will be featuring young women who reflect this year's theme, “Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope.” #BlackGirlMagic 🙋🏾♀️✨
Earlier today in the Oval Office, I met with George Floyd’s family. They’ve shown extraordinary courage over the last year, especially his young daughter Gianna, who I met again today. The day before her father’s funeral, she told me, “Daddy changed the world.”
He has.
It’s been a year since those horrifying 8 minutes and 46 seconds stole George Floyd’s life. Today, I am thinking of this clip of his daughter Gianna, and all the young people out there who have seen so much, but refuse to give up hope.
George Floyd was murdered one year ago today. Since then, hundreds more Americans have died in encounters with police—parents, sons, daughters, friends taken from us far too soon. But the last year has also given us reasons to hope.
