 Oscar Grant rode home on BART with his friends on New Year's Eve in 2009, when officers kneeled on his neck and shot him in the back, killing him. Now, 12 years later, I sat down with his family to talk about another man's death at the hands of police. George Floyd. It was 8 minutes and 46 seconds that sparked a reckoning. Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! From Minneapolis, Minnesota to Sydney, Australia, demonstrators took to the streets shocked and angered at the brutality that George Floyd experienced. George Floyd! George Floyd! But in San Leandro, California, Wanda Johnson says it was a scene that was all too familiar for her, because 11 years ago demonstrators were chanting her son's name. Justice for Oscar Grant! We still as a people have a long way to go. And until we begin to acknowledge that wrong is wrong, we'll still be right here 10 years from now talking about these same things. Now Johnson and her brother, known in the community as Uncle Bobby, travel the country continuing to be a catalyst for change, empowering others to fight for police reform, even as they face the reality of police brutality. That same embrace of love that gave me the energy to have a voice to speak on behalf of Oscar is that same embrace that continues for me to speak on behalf of Eric Garner, Jacob Blake, you know, George Floyd. I feel that pain and that hurt and I cry about it, but I get up and I fight. That pain and that fight shared by a close-knit group of mothers from around the country who have also lost their children to police violence. They're using their collective traumas as a form of resiliency. We encourage one another. Sometimes we cry together. Sometimes we laugh together. You know, we share our stories with each other about what we're doing in our communities to make better communities. And while that road to change seems longer some days, as Black Lives Matter demonstrations become more diverse and policing laws begin to change, the Grant family says that they have hope of better days so they'll continue to fight for racial justice with Oscar Grant leading that way. If I could say something to Oscar, I would say, Boy, now you know. You're supposed to be right by my side and we're supposed to be working together, hand in hand, making a change. But since he's not here, we still are working together, hand in hand, making a change. Our struggle will one day be our victory. Lali Epsa, Cal TV News.
