Protestors holding signs as they walk along King William Street at the Adelaide Justice for George Floyd march. The signs have the messages, 'If all lives mattered there would be no protest #Blacklivesmatter', 'I'm not black but I see you, I'm not black but I hear you, I'm not black but I will stand with you!', and 'Just because you came here in chains doesn't mean you have to put us in them'. The protest, also referred to as 'Black Lives Matter', was held on 6 June 2020 and attended by more than 5000 people. It started at Tarndanyangga (Victoria Square), in response to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and was organised by Adelaide Campaign Against Racism and Fascism, and Sosblakaustralia SA Action Group. In addition, it was a rally to protest police violence, racism, and the murder of black people in Australia, and was in solidarity with the Aboriginal liberation struggle. Attendees were instructed by the organisers to wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19.
