Label Text10,000 Londoners converged on Victoria Park on June 6, 2020, to express their outrage at the May 25 killing of Minnesotan George Floyd at the hands of police. Many crafted signs, including this one, to carry during the rally. The June 6 rally, organized by five young London women, was one of the largest rallies/demonstrations that London has ever seen. It was part of a global effort to call for racial equality for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour around the world, including here in London and across Canada.
