Wednesday night, demonstrators gathered in Sacramento for the seventh day of protests against the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. Hundreds stood, spoke and kneeled in Cesar Chavez Plaza and at the east steps of the state Capitol downtown in a stand against police brutality and systemic racism.
Many demonstrators stayed out nearly 90 minutes past the city’s 8 p.m. curfew until crowds began to disperse around 9:30 p.m.
