Quite a large turnout (at least 250 people, probably more) for today’s protest here in Mountain Brook, the wealthiest town in Alabama (median household income: ~$129k/yr) and one of the whitest (~97% white) 
Whole crowd just briefly took a knee.
“You cannot love Jesus and hate me” - minister (didn’t catch her name) to crowd assembled here in Mountain Brook just now. Loud applause

“I’m an angry black woman. Our black men are being killed at alarming rates. I deserve to be an angry black woman ... We don’t just want justice, we demand justice.” - Alabama activist Gabby Bowie to crowd here in Mountain Brook just now
Crowd of hundreds here in Mountain Brook sitting on the ground in the hot Alabama sun, silently covering their masked mouths with their hands in remembrance of George Floyd
Rally in the Crestwood Elementary athletic field has officially concluded. Crowd dispersing. Unclear if there are further plans for the evening but it appears most people are leaving 1.5 hours before Mountain Brook’s curfew begins.
Just spotted a lone protester leading a post-rally march of her own down Church Street.
