George Floyd protests in New Jersey
Following the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020, protests erupted around the nation and world. Dozens of protests, several involving thousands of protesters have been held in New Jersey. Unlike in other areas of the country, protests have been mainly peaceful. This is attributed to relatively good community-police relations, memories of the race riots of 1967, and activist leadership maintaining focus on systemic racism.[2] After protests in Trenton and Atlantic City grew violent on May 31, curfews were set for the first time.[3][4] Residents of Atlantic City helped clean up damage after the protests turned destructive.[5]
