In the wake of the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, protest demonstrations have filled streets across the globe. On May 25, Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Chauvin has since been charged with third and second-degree murder.
Many from the basketball community have participated in protests following the death of Floyd, including several members of the Golden State Warriors.
After walking alongside Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damion Lee and Klay Thompson in Oakland’s “Walking in Unity” on Wednesday, Stephen and Ayesha Curry joined Palo Alto’s Black Lives Matter march on Saturday.
Ayesha shared a video on Instagram, thanking all who participated in protest around the Palo Alto region of the Bay Area.
