Blocks away, a group of college students assembled at Romare Bearden Park to march through Uptown Charlotte as part of the T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E protest. During the peaceful march, protesters stopped Uptown and knelt for nine minutes — the length of the video showing George Floyd handcuffed on the ground with a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on his neck.  Read our full story.
