Nowadays George Floyd is such a name that no one will forget this easily, I think, even forgetfully no one will forget..... In literature, in newspaper, in air-media, in social working, in praying, in protesting in on line free lancing, in writing, in reading, in reciting.......everywhere and everytime nowadays this name becomes part and parcel! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
