Citizens Gather at Jackson Park For Peaceful Protest

About 250 people gathered in Jackson Park in Dubuque on Tuesday night to protest racial injustice and police brutality and to call for the end to institutional and systemic racism. It was a day of peaceful demonstrations in the city, while unrest continued to rage across other parts of the country in response to the death of George Floyd, a black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis. Organizers said they intend to hold similar rallies each day this week, culminating in a block party Saturday afternoon at Comiskey Park.
