Nearly two weeks after the murder of George Floyd, protests are still taking place in cities all across America as Black men, women, and children seek to have their voices heard and put an end to police violence.

Curfews were lifted in several cities this past weekend as looting and rioting subsided and officers reported multiple days of peaceful protesting without arrests.

The most significant result has come out of Minnesota where city council members have made a commitment to dismantle the Minnesota Police Department in favor of investing in community-led measures of public safety.

And it was Black women who took centerstage and galvanized the crowd with their chants and their signs.
