Darnella Frazier Receives Pulitzer Citation
 

"The Pulitzer Prize board awarded a special citation on Friday to Darnella Frazier, the teenager whose cellphone footage of George Floyd’s murder last summer led to massive protests and sparked a racial reckoning in the country.

Frazier was 17 at the time she filmed Floyd’s death under the knee of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, and she testified at Chauvin’s trial, where he would eventually be convicted. Her video contradicted the initial police account of Floyd’s death.

In Friday’s announcement, the board said Frazier received the citation for “courageously reporting the murder of George Floyd, a video that spurred protests against police brutality around the world, highlighting the crucial role of citizens in journalists’ quest for truth and justice."" WaPo

Great honor bestowed on a very young person with immense courage to document what has led to a worldwide movement. Congratulations to Ms. Frazier.

Well deserved.

Darnella Frazier "changed the world".
