Thousands join anti-racism protest at Vancouver Art Gallery

Thousands of protesters gathered outside the Vancouver Art Gallery Sunday, waving signs and chanting their support of the Black Lives Matter movement and George Floyd, the unarmed black man killed by police in Minneapolis last week.

Despite the shared rhetoric, it is difficult to discern a common target for these criticisms.
