BOSTON — Thousands are expected to attend a rally in Boston Tuesday evening in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. Black Lives Matter Boston and Violence In Boston, Inc. are organizing the gathering that’s scheduled to start at 5 p.m. in Franklin Park.
Organizers say they will “gather while remaining socially distant to rally our Just Anger and mourn these homicides.” They say they will remember and honor Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and local victims of racist violence.
A “die in” is also planned, where attendees will be asked to lie still for 8 minutes and 46 seconds – the total time officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck.
