On Sunday, May 24, 2025, 100 demonstrators gathered in Chicago’s Federal Plaza to honor George Floyd on the fifth anniversary of his murder. Here are my thoughts about and images from the rally and subsequent march to Trump Tower.

Sonya Massey
There was a small demonstration at the intersection of Randolph and Michigan Avenue demanding justice for Sonya Massey, who was shot to death in her home by a Sangamon County police officer. Here are my thoughts about and images from the demonstration.
Rabbi Michael
I headed down to Federal Plaza today for a demonstration calling for the boycott of July 4th. It was lead by Rabbi Michael, who spent the better part of an hour explaining why Black people should not celebrate July 4th. Here are my thoughts about and images from the small, but impactful demonstration.
Tyre Nichols
Somewhere around 200 Chicagoans turned on a chilly Chicago evening to honor Tyre Nichols and other who have died at the hands of the police.
