Black Lives Matter protesters in Iowa found a calling last summer and faced consequences Tyler Kingkade © Provided by NBC News Matè Muhammad said he knew something big was rising: As protests unfurled across the country following George Floyd s murder last May, hundreds of people were also flooding the streets of Des Moines, Iowa, his hometown. From Chicago, where he lived at the time, Muhammad watched livefeeds of protesters in Des Moines squaring off against police in riot gear. Some smashed windows and threw water bottles. Crowds ran from tear gas and pepper spray. This was an unimaginable sight for Iowa s capital, which did not have a Black Lives Matter chapter, let alone massive street protests for racial justice.
