Hundreds of protesters gathered at Peters Park in Boston’s South End yesterday in response to the death of George Floyd, a black man who was killed earlier in the week as a result of a violent confrontation with Minneapolis police. Outrage over the killing turned Minneapolis upside down, and sparked demonstrations nationwide.

The Hub action, which was organized by Mass Action Against Police Brutality, saw protesters march to Nubian Square in Roxbury, and later to the Boston Police Department’s District 4 station in the South End. Pepper spray was used by police later in the day, with some of the protesters arrested outside of the station.
