Minneapolis attorney Jazz Hampton participated in peaceful protests last year calling for racial justice and justice for George Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on his neck for more than nine minutes.

They were difficult moments for Hampton, a Black man, who just four years before Floyd's death, saw the Twin Cities deal with the police killing of Philando Castile, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop.
