Protest At California University Of Pa

June 8, 2020 3:47 am

Nearly 200 protesters gathered Sunday afternoon on the campus of California University of Pennsylvania for a peaceful march through campus and town.  Demonstrators held signs and chanted messages of justice not only for George Floyd, but for all persons of color who face inequality in America.  Organizers of the event included Cal U students and community members.  An 8 minute 46-second moment of silence was held at California’s main intersection, the same amount of time George Floyd was pinned to the ground by a Minneapolis police officer.  The march ended at the California Borough Building after two hours of peaceful protest and speeches.  Local police assisted to ensure safety of those involved.
