The 8:46 Series

It will take a sustained, collective effort across all sectors of our society to create real change.

The 8:46 Series* was originally launched in August 2020, educating 900 community members on systemic racism and its impact on our society.

Hosted by the NCCJ of the Piedmont Triad and the YMCA of Greensboro.

*Note: In 2020, we named The 8:46 Series for the eight minutes and forty-six-second period when the officer’s knee was on George Floyd’s neck. As we have since learned, the officer’s knee was in fact pressed against Floyd’s neck for more than 9 minutes.
