Two years ago, Minnesota Public Radio reporters highlighted activists around Minnesota who were moved to make a difference in their communities following the murder of George Floyd.

Today, on the anniversary of his death, we wanted to check in with some of those folks to hear their reflections on anti-racism work over the past two years.

Buddy King, a nonprofit leader and youth pastor based in St. Cloud, and Wess Philome, an organizer based in Fargo, North Dakota talk with host Cathy Wurzer.
