Portland Police Chief Frank Clark took a knee in solidarity with demonstrators outside the police headquarters Tuesday evening as hundreds of people took to the streets for a third consecutive night of protesting police brutality against black people.
Organizers pleaded with demonstrators to remain peaceful after nearly two dozen people were arrested the night before in a demonstration that swelled to more than 1,000 people, some of whom blocked roads, smashed windows and hurled bottles, rocks, and bricks at police.
After a weekend of protests and riots sparked by the killing of George Floyd, hundreds of Christians and hip-hop artist Lecrae gathered in Atlanta to call on churches and government leaders to ensure fair treatment and an end to racially-motivated crimes.
Additionally, leaders also announced plans for a “March on Atlanta” that will take place in just over two weeks.
The OneRace Movement, a Christian coalition that exists to “displace the spirit of racism and release a movement of racial reconciliation across Atlanta, the Southeast, and the nation,” held a news conference at Liberty Plaza outside the state capitol building in downtown Atlanta Monday.
“Today, we are not here to talk about the protests," OneRace co-director Josh Clemons told the crowd. "We are not here to talk about the riots. We are not here to talk about the looting. What we are here to talk about today is the injustice in our land."
