Earlier this week, Black America faced yet another senseless tragedy at the hands of a police officer. Houston native George Floyd was senselessly killed in the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota for allegedly trying to pass off a fake $20 bill.

Floyd’s death sparked a worldwide outcry and people all over the globe are standing together in solidarity to protest the years of pain that have been inflicted on Black and brown people. While the majority of the protests are currently happening on the ground in Minneapolis, there are dozens of other communities also speaking out for what’s right.

Here are a few of the communities we’ve come across standing in solidarity. It really is a beautiful sight.

May 29th, 2020. Houston, TX. • This photo I took today while at the protest speaks for itself. • • As the police officer was getting surrounded by the crowd of protestors. Many of them were yelling at the cop degrading him. The woman (@tee__jay ) hugging the police officer came out of the crowd, they exchanged a few words (I couldn’t hear), and they embraced. As the officer walked away he exclaimed, “I hate what happened just as much as you guys do!” • • #georgefloyd #icantbreathe #houstonprotest #blm #blacklivesmatter #blackandwhite #peace #justiceforgeorgefloyd #protest
