George Floyd protests spread to smaller, mostly white towns Public outrage over the death of George Floyd is spilling over into small town AmericaOMAHA, Neb. -- Norfolk, Nebraska, is a quiet, conservative and predominantly white city of 24,000 people where public protests are rare, except for an annual rally against abortion. So when about 300 people gathered on a busy street corner last weekend to voice their outrage at the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, residents took notice. “It was important to do it, especially in the middle of Nebraska,” said rally organizer Eduardo Mora, who lives in a neighboring town. A rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, drew more than 100 people to march in solidarity with activists for social justice.
