Tongiht there was a completely different message.
Hundreds of protesters marched for hours down 8th avenue in eugene to almaden street and then headed back down 7th avenue.
At one point all the protesters laid down in front of the entrance of i-105 for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
The same amount of time george flyod was pinned on the ground under the weight of four police officers before he died.
One proter says... this is all very eye opening and educating for oregonians for a lot of people in oregon, they don believe racism is actually something you see here because you don see overt racism.
You only see institutional racism that you see henley says he wants a dialogue to open up and for people to come together and talk about the bigger issue surrounding floyd's death... systemic racism.
Chynna once again this was a successful night of peaceful protests in eugene.
There is another protest planned for tomorrow and kezi will have the latest update from there.
