Protestors bow their heads and kneel during 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence at a rally organized by Black Lives Matter and college students at the state Capitol in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis last week. The time signified the amount of time a police officer pinned Floyd to the ground with his knee on his neck. It was one of many protests taking place in cities and towns throughout the state to demand remedies for racial injustice and police brutality, on Thursday, June 4, 2020.
