Tuesday, May 25 marks the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder.
There are protests and memorial events planned in several Michigan cities to mark the occasion and continue calls to fight racism and police brutality.
A protest honoring George Floyd and others killed by police in Dearborn is planned for 6:30 Tuesday night in Dearborn, an hour before Dearborn’s city council meeting. The group organizing the event Accountability Dearborn is encouraging people to “show up and speak out” at the Dearborn Administrative Center starting at 5:30 p.m., not just in the name of George Floyd, but for all people who have been killed at the hands of police including locals Kevin Wilson and Janet Mathews.
