- Pew surveys show that public optimism about racial equality and Black Lives Matter support has declined, with 72% doubting improvements in Black lives since Floyd's death.
- The event sparked widespread calls for police accountability and reforms, but activists and officials note mixed progress and emphasize continued community commitment and challenges.
