context_page_description: George Floyd, an African American, was killed on 25 May 2020 during a police arrest. Protests seeking justice for Floyd began in the United States the next day. Citizens of other countries soon followed suit. Internationally, protesters have shown opposition to racism worldwide,
  opposed police brutality,
  questioned the arming of police,
  and expressed solidarity with their counterparts in the United States.
  Prominent local issues have included the 2016 death of Adama Traoré near Paris while in police custody and the high rate of death amongst incarcerated Indigenous Australians.
  Protests have taken place in over 60 countries and on every continent except Antarctica. The protests are taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which gathering in crowds is strongly advised against in some parts of the world, and is illegal in others.
