Oprah Winfrey has joined the list of celebrities who have noted that George Floyd won’t just be yet another statistic in America’s disturbing history of murder by police.
 Oprah Winfrey said that Floyd cannot be just a hashtag.
In a statement posted on her social media, which included an illustration of Floyd, the media mogul says she hadn’t said anything until this point because she’s had a hard time processing his death.
“It’s there with me every morning when I rise and when I go through the ordinary duties of the day,” she said. “I think: he doesn’t get to do this.”
She continued, “His family and friends say he was a gentle giant,” she wrote. “His death has now shown us he has a giant soul.”
She concluded: “#GeorgeFloyd, we speak your name. But this time, we will not let your name be just a hashtag. Your spirit is lifted by the cries of all of us who call for justice in your name.”
