Black Lives Matter Protests on 09.04.20

Members of the Fredericksburg Freedom Initiative organized demonstrations through downtown Fredericksburg last year, leading a group of approximately 50 protestors through the city and under a light afternoon rain. The group would begin and end in Hurkamp Park, but not before being confronted by a group of armed counter-protestors. Officers from the Fredericksburg Police Department who were monitoring the protests stepped in and separated the groups.

The event was streamed live on hyperbole’s Facebook page in three separate instances.
