George Floyd’s family met Joe Biden at the White House one year after Mr Floyd’s death as the president reflected on “the hard reality that racism has long torn us apart”.

This first anniversary was supposed to be a milestone moment in Washington, a time to mark the passage of a policing law to make criminal justice more just.
