On our cover this month, thousands of neighbors lay down on the Burnside Bridge for 8 minutes and 46 seconds on June 2 in remembrance of Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer. Above left, Run with Zha organized a running club event on Juneteenth in Woodlawn Park. More than 200 neighbors ran a 5K, celebrating Black excellence by singing ‘Lift Every Voice’ and chanting ‘Black lives are magic.’ At left, seven year-old Charles Harris carries a sign that reads, ‘I am a Black boy. One day I’ll be a Black man,’ during a peaceful evening of vigil at Peninsula Park in the Piedmont neighborhood on May 29. Below left and center, thousands of neighbors gathered at the Peninsula Park vigil to protest the murder of Floyd four days earlier. Speakers reminded the crowd that too many of our black neighbors have died at the hands of police, both in our city and across the county. Attendees sat on the lawn and listened, most wearing masks and socially distanced. The vigil was the largest in Oregon since the state banned large crowds in March. Below right, a kid-friendly demonstration drew a crowd to Rose City Park on June 1. The event took place at the five corners of Northeast Sandy and 57th Avenue, with sign-carrying neighbors lining the sidewalks.
