In Downtown Goldsboro, demonstrators march against police violence toward African Americans.
The protests swept across the nation this weekend as Americans voiced their frustrations over the death of an unarmed black man in police custody. The outrage over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has led to demonstrations in many cities.
The protests came to the downtown area of Goldsboro Sunday evening. Several hundred people gathered at the fountain on Center Street and marched to the Wayne County Courthouse and the Goldsboro Police Station. Chants of “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” “Black Lives Matter” and “No Justice, No Peace” were heard throughout the evening. The demonstrators slowly began to disperse around 10 PM Sunday. There were no confirmed reports of any major destruction of property during the demonstration.
