Over two hundred Portland area residents gathered tonight at Powers Park to peacefully protest and join tens of thousands world-wide to honor George Floyd, the man who was murdered by a Minneapolis Police Officer who knelt on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
Most of the attendees carried signs of “Black Lives Matter”, “I can’t breathe” and “No Justice, No Peace”.
