Most people know George Floyd through how he died, not how he lived. His Name is George Floyd, a new biography by journalists Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa, is trying to change that. Through his diary, interviews with family and friends, and research, Samuels and Olorunnipa paint a picture of who Floyd was as a man, without shying away from his imperfections. In an interview on All Things Considered, the two journalists told Adrian Florido that they hope readers understand the institutional hardships and barriers behind Floyd's story.
