House Democrats take a knee in solidarity with protests against police brutality and racism.
Led by House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, they observed eight minutes forty-six seconds of silence (8:46secs). This was the length of time George Floyd was seen in viral video telling police he can’t breathe.

Congressional house democrats are also set to announce police and social justice reforms in the wake of the death of George Floyd.
It was interesting to see that the Ghanaian kente material was worn by all democrats to show solidarity with African-Americans.
