Massive crowd of protesters gather at Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House

Thousands of people turned out in Washington, D.C., on Saturday for a major protest as demonstrations against police brutality and the death of George Floyd ramp up.

Officials prepared for the protests by closing a significant number of roads around the city’s downtown area, with demonstrations in the nation’s capital entering a second consecutive weekend.

Protesters started to congregate on 16th Street and the newly named Black Lives Matter Plaza in northwest D.C. near the White House a couple of hours before noon.
