Thousands Of Youth Attend Anti-Racism Protests In Frankfurt

Some 3,000 people, mostly youth, attended protests against racism and police brutality in downtown Frankfurt on Friday afternoon to show solidarity with protesters in the United States after George Floyd, an African American died in police custody last week.

Under the campaign "Youth against racism," demonstrators gathered in the historical Roemerberg square and marched in major streets of the German metropolis for a peaceful protest, chanting "black lives matter" and holding placards such as "No justice no peace."
