Black Lives Matter Protest In Leicester

Demonstrations have taken place across the US and further afield in response to the death of Black

US citizen George Floyd. On June 6 hundreds of people gathered at a protest in the city centre.

Organisers of the city centre protest asked people to join them at the Clock Tower at 1pm. Their

intention was to honour the memory of 46-year-old Mr. Floyd and to highlight racial injustice at

home and abroad. The Leicester Mercury website provided live updates of the peaceful protest as it

happened. For more information their coverage and updates can be found here:
