In many parts of the US, tens of thousands of people marched peacefully in the streets while wearing masks and chanting 'Black Lives Matter', to pay tribute to 46-year-old George Floyd. Until now, at least 5 people have lost their lives and more than 4,000 people have got arrested throughout the country. People protesting in downtown Houston have made various chants to let the authorises know that they are protesting peacefully.

Chanting "hands up, don't shoot" and "no justice, no peace", more than 60,000 people along with 16 members of Floyd's family marched about a mile from Discovery Green Park to City Hall under the scorching sun on Monday.

"Never did I think we would have this many people for my brother,” said Floyd's sibling, while a nephew of his said, "don't stop until we get justice for my uncle."
