  • Look, we get it.

  • When it comes to new music, there is a lot of it, and it all comes really fast.

  • But on All Songs Considered, NPR's music recommendation podcast,

  • we'll handpick what we think is the greatest music happening right now and give you your next great listen.

  • So kick back, settle in, get those eardrums wide open,

  • and get your dose of new music from All Songs Considered, only from NPR.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.

  • Events in Minneapolis are underway today to mark five years

  • since the police killing of George Floyd.

  • Matt Sepik of Minnesota Public Radio has more.

  • A religious service gospel concert and candlelight vigil round out a weekend of public gatherings to honor Floyd and the racial justice movement that his murder ignited.

  • The 46-year-old black man died after a white policeman kneeled on his neck and back for more than nine minutes.

  • Former officer Derek Chauvin is serving concurrent state and federal prison sentences of around 20 years.

  • The events honoring Floyd are being held at what is now called George Floyd Square,

  • the intersection in Minneapolis where he was killed.

  • Republican lawmakers in Texas on the verge of passing a law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms.

  • But Houston Public Media's Andrew Schneider reports a measure is expected to be challenged in court.

  • The bill would require Texas public school classrooms to display the King James Bible version of the Ten Commandments.

  • During debate over the measure,

  • Democratic Representative John Bryant argued the bill discriminates against the nearly one-third of Texans who are neither Christian nor Jewish.
