The protest are attempting to give a voice to the need for human rights for African American's and to stop police brutality against people of color. Many people were wearing masks and observing social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic. Terrence Floyd echoed the word of peaceful protest saying that violent protests are overshadowing What's Going On.
