Sean Sutherlin ’21 is from Minnesota. He lives in a small city outside of Minneapolis, where protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in May led to rioting and looting. On the fourth day — once they felt it was safe — Sutherlin and his sister joined the march.
“When we got there it was really good to see how many people showed up to get justice for George (Floyd) and his family. It was also very sad to see how bad the damage was on some of the streets of Minneapolis,” Sutherlin says.Ěý“It looked and felt a lot different with all of the burnt buildings and looted stores.”
