Protests have spread across the country to demonstrate against the death of an African American man, George Floyd, at the hands of a white police officer in Minneapolis. Kirkland Hall, a local activist and a member of the Maryland Lynching Truth and Reconcilation Commission, tells Delmarva Publc Radio's Don Rush about his angish but also his strong objection to the violence that has occurred during the protests.

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
