Anger, pain, resolve and solidarity have been on display the last few weeks after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The protests that followed quickly spread to cities in all 50 states, and even spurred a global anti-racism movement.

In Utah, demonstrations have taken place in Ogden and Salt Lake City, and on Wednesday, June 10, a rally for George Floyd unfolded at Salt Lake Community College’s South City Campus.

Anger, pain, resolve and solidarity have been on display the last few weeks. The Globe hopes to be a platform for these voices — for your voices.
