List of incidents and protests of the United States racial unrest (2020–present)
This is a list of protests and unrest in the United States since 2020 against systemic racism towards black people in the United States, such as in the form of police violence.[1][2][3] Following the murder of George Floyd, unrest broke out in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area on May 26, 2020, and quickly spread across the country and the world. Further unrest quickly spread throughout the United States, sometimes including rioting, looting, and arson. By early June, at least 200 American cities had imposed curfews, while more than 30 states and Washington, D.C, had activated over 62,000 National Guard personnel into unrest.[4][5][6] By the end of June, at least 14,000 people had been arrested at protests.[7][8][9]
Polls have estimated that between 15 million and 26 million people have participated at some point in the demonstrations in the United States, making them the largest protests in United States history.[10][11][12] It was also estimated that between May 26 and August 22, around 93% of protests were "peaceful and nondestructive".[13][14][15] However, arson, vandalism, and looting during the George Floyd protests alone caused approximately $1–2 billion in damages nationally, the highest recorded damage from civil disorder in U.S. history, and surpassing the record set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.[16][17] In protests that involved violence, violence was variously instigated by protesters, counter-protesters, or police, and police sometimes escalated confrontations.[15][18][19]

The major catalyst of the unrest was the murder of George Floyd on May 25. Though it was not the first controversial killing of a black person in 2020,[32] it sparked a much wider series of global protests and riots which continued into August 2020.[33][34] As of June 8, there were at least 19 deaths related to the protests.[35] The George Floyd protests are generally regarded as marking the start of the 2020 United States unrest.

The intersection was held as an occupation protest by people who had erected barricades to block vehicular traffic and transformed the space with amenities, social services, and public art of Floyd and that of other racial justice themes.[51][52][53] The street intersection reopened to vehicular traffic on June 20, 2021.[54][55] As of May 2, 2023, activists at George Floyd Square said they would continue to protest until the City of Minneapolis met all items on its list of 24 demands.[42]

At 9:30 p.m. on July 13 at an apartment building on the 900 block of 21st Avenue in the Seward neighborhood, Minneapolis police responded to reports of gunshots being fired from one apartment unit into another. Police that arrived at the scene observed more shots being fired through interior walls and evacuated the apartment building. A six-hour standoff ensued with Sundberg, the alleged assailant, who, according to police, also fired at officers.[182] At about 4:30 a.m. on July 14, two police officer snipers fired their rifles, fatally wounding Sundberg. The shooting is under investigation.[183][184]
Family of Sundberg and activists held a vigil near the apartment building the evening of July 14.[183] Another rally was held near the apartment building on July 16. Family members, who retained civil rights attorneys Benjamin Crump and Jeff Storms, questioned why Sundberg was shot by police and sought release of police body camera footage.[185] A woman whose apartment was shot up confronted Sundberg's family and activists during the July 16 demonstration.[186]
Sundberg's killing led to further mistrust between police and community activists who questioned why police used deadly tactics to end the standoff.[187] Public outrage gave way to protests in Minneapolis, but demonstrations were dwindling in size compared to the period after Floyd's murder.[188]
2023
Boston police brutality protest, January 16, 2023
Sayed Faisal, a 20-year old student at the University of Massachusetts Boston, was confronted by police on January 4, 2023, while holding a kukri to his neck, and as Faisal allegedly moved towards officers with the kukri, an officer fatally shot him.[189] On January 16, 2023, the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, about 75 protesters marched between Boston and Cambridge. The protest began near the home of Terrence Coleman, who was killed by police in 2016. Protesters chanted the names of several Black men who had been killed by police and held a moment of silence for Faisal.[190][191]
Manuel Terán protests, January 20–22, 2023; Atlanta riot, January 21, 2023
Protests were held in several U.S. cities in reaction to the killing of Manuel Terán, a Venezuelan-born person,[192] who was fatally shot by a Georgia State Patrol officer on January 18, 2023, while protesting the construction of a police training facility in Atlanta, Georgia.[193] Notable protests and vigils were held in Atlanta, Bridgeport, Minneapolis, Nashville, Philadelphia, and Tucson from January 20–22, 2023.[193] Protests in Atlanta on January 21, 2023, briefly turned violent as some demonstrators threw objects, set police car on fire, and smashed windows of bank buildings with hammers.[194] The Atlanta riot had broad participation from people across the United States. Six people—most of whom were White and from outside of the U.S. state of Georgia[195]—were arrested and charged criminally for actions during the January 21 riot.[196][197]
Tyre Nichols protests, January 27, 2023–February 1, 2023
![](../I/Tyre_Nichols_Protest_at_the_Ohio_Statehouse_(1).jpg.webp)
Several major cities in the United States prepared for potential unrest ahead of the scheduled January 27, 2023, official release of video that captured the arrest and police beating of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee, on January 7, 2023. Nichols died three days later, and five black officers from the Memphis Police Department have been charged with murder.[198] President Joe Biden joined Nichols' family in calling for peaceful protests.[199] Several protests at police department facilities in the United States were planned ahead of the video's release. State and local governments have prepared security measures, such as the Georgia National Guard, which was mobilized proactively.[200]
Jordan Neely protests, May 3–12, 2023
Protests were held in New York City in response to the killing of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old African American man and Michael Jackson impersonator, by Daniel Penny, a white ex-Marine while riding the F Train on May 1, 2023.[201][202] Penny approached Neely from behind, placing him in a chokehold until Neely was unconscious.[203] Neely was pronounced dead once taken to Lenox Hill Hospital. Penny was released without any charges.[204] Two days after Neely's killing, a vigil-turned-protest was held inside the Broadway–Lafayette Street station, in which the arrest and charge of the then unnamed man who choked Neely was demanded.[205] On May 5, 2023, protests took place across the city, including locations such as the Broadway-Lafayette Street station, the Washington Square Park, and outside the Manhattan district attorney's office, calling for criminal charges to be brought.[206] Protests were again held on May 6, 2023, at various locations in Manhattan.[207] On May 8, 2023, there were clashes between demonstrators and police during the protests, and various arrests were made that night.[208]

In the 16 months since Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for the murder of George Floyd, the streets of Minneapolis have only occasionally been filled by protesters. The police killings of 22-year-old Amir Locke and 20-year old Tekle Sundberg this year sparked outrage, though to a lesser degree. Despite dwindling boots-on-the-ground action, however, the fight over policing in Minneapolis rages on.
