Community activist Jedidiah Brown yells as Chicago police officers clash with hundreds of protesters Monday outside a store that had been looted near East 71st Street and South Chappel Avenue in South Shore.
Volunteers helped clean up neighborhoods throughout the South and West Sides after riots devastated communities. Some people were worried about food insecurity since looters ransacked grocery stores.
“These are our two grocery stores,” said Evita Ali, who lives in Bronzeville.
“It’s only two, but [looters] tore it up, so where are we gonna shop?”
Meanwhile, business owners assessed the damage.
“They took my TV, all of my food, whatever really they could grab on to,” said Asif Raza, the longtime owner of Star Sub in the South Side. “We are going to have to start all over now.”
Protests also happened on the North Side as demonstrators once again defied the city’s 9 p.m. curfew to march through the streets of Uptown and Lakeview. The crowd chanted “I can’t breathe” and “Black lives matter” with cars driving past and honking in support.
In front of Wrigley Field’s iconic marquee, protesters paused and took a knee to honor Floyd, a black man killed by a white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, who has since been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
This marks the fourth straight day of protests throughout the city and eighth day of national outrage.
Here’s a visual recap of Monday’s Floyd protests and cleanup efforts from this weekend’s demonstrations in Chicago.
