Ms. Frazier is the courageous young woman whose video of the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, became a crucial artifact of American history.
Only 17 at the time, Darnella Frazier is to the Floyd killing what Abraham Zapruder was to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, an accidental bystander with a camera, a vital witness to a pivotal moment. Ms. Frazier's video of the arrest, which recorded Floyd's plea - I can't breathe - as police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than 9 minutes, sparked protests across the country. A witness at Chauvin's murder trial, Ms. Frazier expressed regret for not physically confronting Mr. Chauvin. âItâs been nights I stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and not saving his life,â Ms. Frazier said.

An eloquent dream symbol, its crossing an achievement that long felt impossible. "Last night, I dreamed I walked across the bridge", she told him, "all by myself, all the way to the other side of the river."

The era when a phone call may be your only means of connecting with a loved one.
... with a hat tip to Colombian Nobel-prize-winning author Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez for his 1985 novel Love In the Time of Cholera.
She wondered how long it would be until they could touch each other, see each other, breathe the same air. But he could call, she could hear his voice, and that was love in the time of callera.
With hospitals, emergency rooms and ambulances over-taxed with COVID-19 patients, the strip-mall medical facility where you seek care for almost anything.
Having every symptom of massive heart failure, he managed to drive to the crawl-in clinic, a place he'd normally go for a cut finger. In the pandemic, it was his only option.
