caption_attribution_description: English: Approximately 6,000 persons attended a rally and a march in Summit, New Jersey, United States, to protest the police killing of Mr. George Floyd. Protesters carried signs saying "Black Lives Matter" and "Equality for All" and "No Justice No Peace". The rally began behind the Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School, with the crowd wearing face masks and practicing social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic. Speakers included Summit's police chief and U.S. Congressperson Tom Malinowski and Summit Mayor Nora Radest. The march proceeded peacefully on Morris Avenue and Springfield Avenue and was escorted by Summit police and EMS volunteers.
context_page_description: Following the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020, protests erupted around the nation and world. Dozens of protests, several involving thousands of protesters have been held in New Jersey. Unlike in other areas of the country, protests have been mainly peaceful. This is attributed to relatively good community-police relations, memories of the race riots of 1967, and activist leadership maintaining focus on systemic racism. After protests in Trenton and Atlantic City grew violent on May 31, curfews were set for the first time. Residents of Atlantic City helped clean up damage after the protests turned destructive.
  On June 2, Attorney General Gurbir Grewal announced expanded utilization of a use-of-force database, proposed a licensing program for law enforcement, and other initiatives.
