Minneapolis Protest Day Before Chauvin Trial Opening Statements

Protesters march through downtown Minneapolis on March 7, 2021, the day before opening statements in the trial of Derek Chauvin. The former Minneapolis police officer was charged with murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, an incident that occurred in the same city in May 2020. The marchers carried signs with images of Floyd and messages calling for justice, reflecting the widespread public outcry and demands for police accountability that followed Floyd's death.
