Why did a movement as powerful as the one inspired by the murder of George Floyd fall short of securing its most militant demands? After Black Lives Matter argues that the core of the movement itself failed to locate the central racial injustice that underpins the crisis of policing: socioeconomic inequality.
Cedric G. Johnson is professor of African American Studies and Political Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
