The death of George Floyd, a Black man in the custody of Minneapolis Police in May, set off a worldwide movement featuring countless protests and conversations about racial inequalities in society.
The protests even made their way to Sussex County, where more than 93% of residents are white and less than 3% are Black, according to recent census data. In a two-month period from late spring to mid-summer, five county municipalities hosted rallies that continued calls for equality in the wake of Floyd s death.
While the nationwide demonstrations having died down in recent months, organizers and speakers at the Sussex County rallies are now focused on advancing the conversation for change.
