The Detroit protests against police brutality began on May 29, just days after the death of George Floyd, who died on May 25 at the knee of a Minneapolis police officer. Within days, more marches were organized in Troy, Grosse Pointe, Shelby Township and beyond kicking off what would become a summer of largely peaceful protests to proclaim that Black lives matter, to call for police reform and demand justice for George Floyd, Priscilla Slater, Breonna Taylor and more.
