Protests all over the country continued on Sunday, with unrest in U.S. cities responding to the death of George Floyd.
As we showed you on Saturday, there are some people who came together to clean up their neighborhoods and communities.
Among those who were involved in cleanups on Sunday was Spurs guard Lonnie Walker, who told the San Antonio Express-News, “I am just trying to be another human being playing my part. I am not Lonnie Walker who plays for the Spurs. I am not an NBA player. I am just a regular human being trying to do what we are supposed to do, and that’s to create peace, positivity and joy throughout everybody’s lives.”
He helped remove graffiti from buildings:

A wonderful act of service.

What started as a text between friends led to a group of old football buddies looking to spread positivity.
