This is a list of protests and unrest related to the killing of George Floyd. The protests began in Minneapolis on May 26, 2020, a day after George Floyd, an African-American man, died during a police arrest, and they continued through the following weekend.
The protests spread to over four hundred cities and towns in all fifty states as well as in other countries, with demonstrators supporting those seeking justice for Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement, and speaking out against police brutality. Some of the protests turned into riots with violence and property destruction. Cities with major protests included Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charlotte, Columbus, Denver, Detroit, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Grand Rapids, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Oakland, Phoenix, Portland, Oregon, Richmond, San Antonio, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][excessive citations] The wave of protests has been compared to the long, hot summer of 1967 and King assassination riots, both of which saw riots in over a hundred cities across the United States.[10]
Outside the United States, early protests against the killing of George Floyd, anti-black racism and police brutality also took place, notably in Auckland, Berlin, Brisbane, Calgary, Copenhagen, Lagos[citation needed], London, Montreal, Paris, Perth, Rio de Janeiro,[11] Sydney, Tel Aviv,[12], Toronto, and Vancouver.
