(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) (Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Protesters dance through the neighborhood in Rose Park, during the Dance Dance for Revolution protest for racial equality, on Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020. The protest was in memory of Jovany Mercardo who was shot last August by Ogden police by four officers, hitting his body sixteen times.
Rania Ahmed was at home in Sugar House one Sunday in June when she heard what sounded like a block party moving through her neighborhood.
What she found outside was a protest, one of many organized this summer in Utah and across the nation by people rallying against police violence after George Floyd was killed by an officer in Minneapolis.
