The death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers has sparked tons of protests and demonstrations worldwide. The Black Lives Matter movement has been going strong for almost a month now. And for New York Knicks general manager Scott Perry, he hopes that this activism isn't just a momentary trend.

Per Marc Berman of the New York Post, the Knicks executive shared his sentiments on the movement during a symposium set up to commemorate Juneteenth. Based on his experience, he knows that some campaigns are short-lived. And he doesn't want this to happen to the Black Lives Matter movement.

“Let’s not allow this to be just a moment in time,’’ Perry said Thursday on an invitation-only discussion with teachers and children regarding racial injustice. “I’ve been around long enough to know that things that have happened in our history before — there’s a temporary outrage, and then boom, things are back to normal. Don’t allow this to be that time. This is a call of duty to action for all young people.”

The Knicks organization has seemingly turned things around after owner James Dolan was caught under fire for not immediately releasing a statement in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd. In fact, an e-mail from Dolan addressed to Knicks employees leaked. In the said e-mail, Dolan defended to not make a statement.

“As companies in the business of sports and entertainment we are not any more qualified than anyone else to offer our opinion on social matters. What's important is how we operate,” the e-mail read in part, as obtained by SNY.

Dolan and the Knicks recanted the statement and tried to make up for it by hosting this Juneteeth symposium, the national day commemorating the end of slavery.
