KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Protesters convened at the River Market on Sunday for a silent march in response to the death of George Floyd.

The march marked the 10th consecutive day of protests in Kansas City, Missouri.

Attendees were encouraged to wear white shirts with the names of victims written on them, according to protest organizer Justice Horn.
