I strongly disagree with that statement "we all are going to forget" I am not sure who you were referring to as "we" I am African American and I know the sentiments of my community. Make know mistake about it periods of silence doesn't mean something is forgotten. The 50 names you listed are only some of the ones that were documented. The actual number is without a doubt in the millions. This atrocity has been going on in North America since the founding of this country. Native American's as well as African American blood saturates this soil.
This incident as with all of them has something that is totally unique about it. This incident ignited a swift worldwide response.
I believe the masses (of all races) have seen enough. Any wise person will recognize that now is the time to make changes necessary to stop the bloodshed. Dismissing it as something that will pass is the biggest mistake we can make for our future generations

Sorry. I meant we as a country.

I don't believe forgotten. It's the case where the victims were not white. ...but not forgotten! ...so the protests including whites makes a big difference. They caused it ie their parents, their grandparents, their great grandparents, the racist white community at large, slavery, the laws which govern that condoned all inequalities. All of this contributed to what and where it is now. The mentality of those people! ...so seeing white people taking a stand says something. Enough is enough, for the American people, the country itself going forward.
I always said if white kids in South Africa protested against what was happening to non-white kids in South Africa it would've made a difference. ...then black students wouldn't have been shot in the Soweto 1976 "riots" in South Africa . Students took the bullet in broad daylight when apartheid police shot every black school kid that moved in that peaceful protest. This was the saddest day in history, where the govt of the day and their fruitful servants (apartheid police) lawfully shot school kids. The govt of the day called it a "riot"! . It was a peaceful protest against the ills of apartheid education dished out to black kids. The govt wanted blacks (with their own native language) to do their subjects in the Dutch language, which the Dutchmen then called Afrikaans, to confuse the world that it was part of Africa. Blacks were dished out such an inferior-trodden education, this to encourage future slavery. Verwoerd was even against blacks learning maths. This is how evil the system was. The greatest evil of apartheid, amongst other gruesome evils towards humankind, was to deprive the non-whites of a decent education, especially the blacks as the education syllabus was graded in its inferior tiers ie Indians, Coloureds then Blacks. That is soooo fucken cruel. ...while the world watched and did f all about it because they were in bed with the perpetrators. SO NO, NOT FORGOTTEN. The reason why we're still facing difficulties, is that so many blacks are still in generational slavery. SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE WHITES OUT THERE, WHO HAS RECOGNISED THE EVILS AND TAKING A STAND FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY. The majority of the SOUTH AFRICAN GUILTY WHITES HAVE FLED for greener opportunities to AUS, UK & USA. They were welcomed with open arms. NOW TELL ME THIS ISN'T A RACE THING. They will hijack a fucken country, drain it to the ground at the expense of the indigenous people (still draining, still feel a sense of entitlement) and continue their life in this manner.
This world can be a better place for all who live in it, if we think humanly enough. There'll be less poverty, less crime, less hatred, more love.

June 16 coming up is to remember those kids. It's been a public holiday since Nelson Mandela came into power

Also know that the real (death) truth couldn't be published. Reporters were barred.
"They" bar 'd news on this. Anyone who dared go against this faced - well you'll never see or hear of them again.

@Unity, @ St-Sinner
...when you open all the links, you'll read that while the injured school kids were being treated in hospital, the govt wanted the names of those kids, so they can be prosecuted for "rioting"! Plenty kids still missing. THIS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!
Whites in post apartheid SA, are telling black people to "get on with it"!!!! Can you believe this!!!! They have not been at the receiving end of such brutality. Parents remembering their brothers and sisters and parents, they are being told by white people to just get on with it!!!!. This has left huge scars and psychological damage to the majority of its citizens!
Yes the kids have moved on in democratic SA and have become distinguished men and women and have taken their rightful place in society.
... but NOT forgotten! school kids were shot at point-blank as direct targets - most people still cringe at this horror and shivers go down their spine. ...but these spineless people (not all) say "get on with it".
I was in Gr7 at the time. Our schools closed in mourning - against govt policy!

No I think this new generation won't let this happen. Many whites are getting more involved. I am marching Monday with Black Lives Matter.

That is the hope.

He seemed determined to make sure Floyd was dead. After Floyd was unresponsive he still kept a knee to his neck. Unbelievable

He may have had deep dirt on the cop Seems this was the cop's opportunity of taking him out for good Only everyone saw how badly he wanted him dead
