On Sunday afternoon, May 31, 2020 about 100 people showed up in front of City Hall in Cumberland, Maryland to protest the death of George Floyd by a Minneapolis, Minnesota police officer. Chants of "No Justice, No Peace" and "Black Lives Matter" were chanted as well as the singing of several religious hymns.
The event was organized by Ellen McDaniel-Weissler. It was peaceful and focused upon the participants’ desire for "justice" surrounding the death of Floyd as well as an investigation of and reform as it pertains to policing policies within African-American communities.
Following the rally the group marched through the Downtown Cumberland Mall and gathered again for another rally.
