Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser spoke at the 2020 DNC Convention Speech from our nations capital, delivering her speech just off the newly founded "Black Lives Matter Plaza" street. Mrs. Bowser spent much of her time strongly criticizing President Trump's crackdown on largely peaceful protests throughout the country before pivoting to introduce members of George Floyd's family. George Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis Police helped spark nationwide protests against excessive police use of force tactics against minority citizens.
