Teen who filmed George Floyd's murder given award
A teenager who filmed the murder of George Floyd by a white police officer has been given a special journalism award by the Pulitzer Prize board. Darnella Frazier, now 18, was awarded the citation for her courage, the Pulitzer committee said.
Her film spurred protests for racial justice around the world and was used as evidence in the trial that convicted police officer Derek Chauvin. The Pulitzers are the most prestigious journalism awards in the US.
The committee said they honoured Ms Frazier for "courageously recording the murder of George Floyd, a video that spurred protests against police brutality around the world, highlighting the crucial role of citizens in journalists' quest for truth and justice."
Ms Frazier came across the arrest of Floyd while walking with her cousin in Minneapolis on 25 May last year.
She told a court earlier this year that she started recording the incident on her phone because "I saw a man terrified, begging for his life".
Ms Frazier described hearing Floyd "saying I can't breathe'. He was terrified, he was calling for his mom".
