Recent protests around the world have brought renewed attention to demonstrations as a form of expression and call for change. The year 2019 saw protests in Hong Kong, Lebanon, Gaza, France, Venezuela and other places. Worldwide, protesting slowed in early 2020 because of the spread of the new coronavirus. That changed after the death of George Floyd. Demonstrations around the world were held in support of Americans protesting the death of Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes. In cities across the U.S., some protests turned violent, as people expressed their anger over the incident and their strong desire for change.
