Baltimore, Oct. 14 — Activists gathered at the Billie Holiday statue in Upton to declare Oct. 14 “George Floyd Day,” marking his birthday. Protesters carried signs reading “On George Floyd Day, Say No to Racism.” The action was part of a nationwide movement to honor George Floyd — not Charlie Kirk.

The rally opened with a tribute to Assata Shakur. Colby Bryd of the Peoples Power Assembly urged the crowd to keep fighting racist violence. Watch Bryd on YouTube.
