Local protests fairly peaceful –

The fallout from Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd on May 25 continues as racial tension and protests engulfed the nation.

There also have been protests popping up locally as well, including three in Daytona with one resulting in local activist Rell Black having his foot run over by a vehicle.

The protest was sponsored by the Black Clergy Alliance, the Martin Luther King Celebration Committee of Volusia, Daytona Beach police department, F.A.I.T.H. (Fighting Against Injustice Towards Harmony), Bethune-Cookman University’s School of Religion and Daytona Beach city leaders.

Rell Black, whose real name is Dyrell Johnson, organized two protests in Daytona over the weekend.

Sunday’s protest at the International Speedway Boulevard bridge and Beach Street drew about 300 people and resulted in Johnson having his foot ran over by a woman in a vehicle.
