From new york to Los Angeles, via Minneapolis and Houston, the demonstrations continued on Tuesday and Wednesday, in over a hundred cities across the United States. For the second week, the crowds denounced the death of George Floyd, this African-American 46-year-old killed during his arrest by a white policeman, may 27, in Minneapolis, as well as the police violence and race in general.
