Waterloo Times

Waterloo residents came together to protest the death of George Floyd in a rally organized by a Waterloo resident, Iowa's News Now reported.

Joyce Levingston said she organized the march because it was the time everyone stood together. The march included some brief speeches and then the protesters went downtown, passing both the Waterloo Police Department and the courthouse during the march, chanting, "I can't breathe," along the way, according to the news agency.

Shajoun Henderson, a Waterloo resident, and his family attended the march to protest injustice and equality, the news agency reported.

"It's kind of scary because him being a biracial male, he's considered black," Henderson told the news agency, speaking of his son. "They still consider him a black man and when he wake up and stuff like that I figure something's going to happen to him. I pray about it every day and every night before I go to bed."

Henderson told the news agency he had experienced police brutality himself.
