Nicholas Kristof: What if there were no George Floyd video?

(Brian Inganga | AP photo) In this June 3 photo, a Maasai man, who said he had seen Facebook video about protests in the U.S. over the death of George Floyd, jumps next to a new mural painted showing Floyd with the Swahili word "Haki" meaning "Justice", in the Kibera slum, or informal settlement, of Nairobi, Kenya. Since George Floyd's death in the U.S. state of Minnesota last week, his face has been painted on walls from Nairobi, Kenya to Idlib, Syria. Floyd's name has been inked on the shirts of soccer players and chanted by crowds from London and Cape Town to Tel Aviv and Sydney.
