George Floyd, an unarmed African American man, was killed during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, setting off massive protests around the country and generating greater support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement; police officer Derek Chauvin was later convicted of his murder. An estimated 15–26 million people participated in protests in the summer of 2020, making BLM the largest protest movement in American history.
