Evanston residents honor George Floyd in interfaith vigil
Rev. Michael Nabors of Second Baptist Church, the main organizer of the vigil, speaks about remembering the Black men, women and children who have been killed by police. Nabors emphasized the number of trials in which justice has not been served and urged the community to continue the fight for justice.
Over 60 Evanston residents gathered to honor George Floyd and affirm the work of the Black Lives Matter movement at a vigil Wednesday evening, a day after the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
The gathering, held at the Downtown Evanston Farmers’ Market, was sponsored by numerous churches and synagogues, alongside the city and Northwestern.

Evanston Police say they’ve received reports of seven robberies of pedestrians in south and central Evanston in the past two days.
Cmdr. Ryan Glew says it’s believed all the robberies have been committed by the same three or four Black male youths between 13 and 17 years of age who reportedly have been driving a stolen blue Honda CRV with Illinois plates.
Glew says the robberies have occurred between noon and 2 p.m. and that the robbers have targeted victims walking with their cellular phone visible and women carrying purses. Two similar robberies have been reported in the Rogers Park area of Chicago.
