The sixth day of protests in New York over the police killing of unarmed black Minneapolis resident George Floyd were marked with a rally beginning in Foley Square and moving to various locations around lower Manhattan on Tuesday. A diverse crowd of thousands of New Yorkers showed up to protest the death of Floyd and countless other black Americans at the hands of the police, bearing signs that read “It Was Murder,” “I Can’t Breathe,” and “Black Lives Matter.
It wasn’t lost on many attendees that the date—June 2—marked one of the first days of Pride Month, as was evidenced by a series of signs featuring the pink triangles of queer liberation along with the message, “White Silence=Black Death.” Other signs cast a light on the recent deaths of unarmed black Americans Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, whose names have taken on a new resonance as protestors take to the streets night after night to fight for justice.
