Protesters first gathered at the SC State House around 11 a.m. in May 2020 to protest the death of George Floyd, participating in the national march called “I Can’t Breathe.”  In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the day started off peaceful, but hours later chaos broke out leading city officials to enact a curfew.  As the week progressed, Black leaders and the local police worked together, in a show of unity, to address the right to protest police brutality and advocate for Black Lives Matter. Both professional and amateur photographers followed the action and captured the amazing images shown below.
