James Scurlock, a young African-American, was killed in Omaha, NE on May 30, 2020, during protests in regard to George Floyd being murdered at the hands of a policeman in Minneapolis.
Scurlock was shot twice by a bar owner that was well-known to be a racist. After reviewing the video of the incident, the county attorney Don Kleine determined the shooting was done in self-defense. Kleine is now supporting calling a Grand Jury.
The bar owner has been evicted from both his properties in downtown Omaha. It's probably better that way. The guy's reputation is gone, and his businesses, in a high-traffic destination area, will be more of a target for trouble.
Richmond, Va / USA - August 8th, 2020: A close up of the graffiti on the vandalized Robert E. Lee statue on Monument Avenue after protests at the new Marcus David Peters Circle. The Confederate statues have been a controversial issue for years and became a visual symbol in the Richmond George Floyd Protests in the summer of 2020.
Black Lives Matter sign in my apartment building's community lounge room. The apartment is in downtown Austin, Texas. I only had to travel a few floors upstairs within my own living community, which took about 3 minutes. The topic of BLM comes up quite often in my immediate community, as my fellow residents are very vocal about their support for the cause, so I do see a lot of visual support where I live. I also hear quite a bit about the Movement when I speak to my neighbors and other residents of the apartment building, usually bringing up the topic when there are events happening in support of it, or when there is a current update about it to discuss.
When driving on Guadalupe last week, about half a mile from where I currently live, my roommate and I noticed this Black Lives Matter bumper sticker on the car in front of us. We were debating if it was the world’s largest bumper sticker or if it was a sticker for something else that they decided to put on the back of their car. The topic of Black Lives Matter comes up a lot within my community – especially back in my hometown.

The Hyde Park Theatre in Austin displays the words "Black Lives Matter" on their marquee billboard. This theatre is less than 2 miles from where I live and I see this sign often. The topic of Black Lives Matter comes up quite often in my immediate community as we are all concerned with justice and equality. Further, many people in my immediate community discuss the impact the BLM movement will have on our society. We also discuss the BLM protests that occur in Austin and the movement's presence on social media.

Protests and riots sprung up across the U.S. this week following the death of George Floyd, a black man suffocated by a police officer during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday.
Around 7 p.m., a protest began in Oklahoma City at the intersection of NW 23rd & Classen. Chants of "NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE." filled the air as hundreds of protesters circled the road to block traffic. Dozens of police officers arrived. Arrests were made. I took as many photos as I could.
Much of the early portion of the protest was peaceful. I couldn't see anyone fighting until police arrived to clear the intersection. Around 9 p.m., protesters started marching toward toward the Plaza District and eventually marched to the Oklahoma City Police Department Headquarters, 700 Colcord, and eventually dispersed from the area at about midnight.
