These photos show why 2020 was an unprecedented year for social activism No description found
In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 might go down as the year of social activism and protests.
The deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and others sparked a movement -- as people flooded the streets and attended rallies, demanding racial justice. Others defended police and made their voices heard as well, while the election brought activism to the forefront, as well.
This year produced some gripping images that will most certainly go down in history.
Here are some photos of social activism around the country in 2020.
