In the wake of George Floyd's killing at the hands of police in Minneapolis, wave upon wave of protests have taken over the nation's streets, and even spread to other nations, as people fed up with police brutality, injustice, and systemic racism make their voices heard.
The protests have more recently been accompanied by a movement to remove statues and monuments honoring historical figures like various Confederate generals, as well as Christopher Columbus due to his legacy of genocide and brutal treatment of Indigenous populations in the Americas.
