Is there an an endgame? Some type of specific legislation that will eventually be demanded? While the murder of George Floyd and racism was what kicked things off, I think frustration and disgust with the system in general is also playing into it.

In the 60’s, it seems the demands were clear and a person would have been able to see if and when they were met. Outlaw segregation, pass the civil rights act, withdraw from Vietnam etc.

Will the current protests ever gain such a sharp focus?
