A man who walked more than 1,000 miles from his home in Huntsville, Alabama, to the place where George Floyd died in Minneapolis said he did so for his son’s sake and to protest injustice.
Terry Willis, a 35-year-old business owner, reached Minnesota earlier this week after he began walking on June 2. “For the last couple days I have been mentally preparing myself for this journey,” Willis wrote in a Facebook post before he began his trip. “As a black father who [is] raising a black son, I feel like I am obligated to do my part in making a change and better future for my son. I see what’s going on and I understand why people are mad.”
