Eugene March Shuts Down Parts of I-105

For a 12^th consecutive day, protests continued in Eugene Tuesday. 

Starting at the Valley River Center in the early evening, about 200 demonstrators marched to 7^th Avenue, before eventually returning to the mall. The 2 hour protest, against police brutality and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, shut down part of I-105 amidst chants of “disrupt not destroy” and the names of African-Americans who’ve died at the hands of white police officers around the U.S.

Tuesday's protest was organized by a group called Black Unity. It ended peacefully around 8:30 p.m.
