Keenan Love had $9 in his pocket when he left home to walk 46 miles to Chicago, in honor of George Floyd's 46 years of life. As the 29-year-old's livestream picked up viewers on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, friends and family started bringing him food and water. Two women brought him a new pair of shoes when his soles started to wear through. Eventually police began escorting his walk down the highway, handing off between different departments at each town border. Near the end of his walk, Love looked behind him and saw hundreds of people he didn't even realize were there. "That was pure bliss," he said. "That was the moment that I realized this was bigger than me."
