National protests and racial unrest have engulfed the nation after the death of Houston native and Minneapolis resident George Floyd, who died in police custody while being restrained by an officer's knee for nine minutes. Floyd was a native of the Third Ward, and grew up blocks away from the University of Houston campus. With the advent of video cameras, Floyd's death has not been an isolated incident.
