Hundreds march across downtown Macon in peaceful protest

Sheriff David Davis addressed the protesters before the march across downtown began

MACON, Ga. — Hundreds of peaceful protesters met at the Tubman Museum in downtown Macon Tuesday night.

For the first 20 minutes, event organizers spoke, as well as Bibb Sheriff David Davis.

From there, the protesters made their way to the Bibb County courthouse and the county government center.

The protest, which was organized by the Macon-Bibb County Coalition for a Better Era and other local community activists, was in response to the death of George Floyd like many other protests across the country.

Organizers emphasized that the protest is meant to be peaceful and there are NO plans for it to turn into a riot or looting.
