GeorgeFloyd protests continue as demonstrators vow to stay on the streets until real change accomplished
A painted wall with a Black Lives Matter message is seen in the Pilsen neighborhood, Friday, June 5, 2020, in Chicago.
Josiah Roebuck, a university student who used social media to help gather 100 people to demonstrate Friday in an Atlanta suburb, is confident the momentum will last. In Washington, city workers and volunteers painted “Black Lives Matter” in enormous yellow letters on the street leading to the White House on Friday in a sign of local leaders’ embrace of the protest movement. The mural stretched across 16th Street for two blocks, ending just before the church where President Donald Trump staged a photo-op earlier this week after federal officers forcibly cleared a peaceful demonstration to make way for the president and his entourage.
The group followed up with each person this week suggesting simple actions such as emailing or calling to demand local change. In Minneapolis, organizer Sam Martinez said regular meetings and a mailing list of about 5,000 has sustained the Twin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar, formed after the 2015 shooting death of Jamar Clark during a struggle with two white officers.Nakia Wallace, an organizer of protests in Detroit, said people were beginning to understand the movement's power.
