At the initiative of several associations, including SOS Racisme, dozens of people gathered in front of the United States embassy in Paris. Together they got down on their knees to denounce "a racist crime" and to pay tribute to George Floyd, an African-American who died during an arrest carried out by four white police officers in Minneapolis.
Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrate against police violence and racism in the United States. A curfew has been imposed in cities like Washington, Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Houston.
