Protestors began gathering around the Bay Area Friday afternoon to demonstrate in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, an African-American man killed in Minneapolis this week.
Hundreds of people walked through downtown San Jose in a protest that began outside of City Hall on Friday, stopping traffic on city streets and on Highway 101 southbound near Alum Rock Avenue while chanting “Black Lives Matter.” Many of the protestors were high school and college-aged students who wore face coverings and held signs with the words, “I can’t breathe,” and “Justice for George Floyd.”
