On Saturday, Nov. 20, Black Lives Matter Chicago protested the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse faced five felony charges after killing two men and injuring another during a protest following the shooting of Jacob Blake, which left Blake partly paralyzed. After three days of deliberation, a unanimous jury relieved Rittenhouse of all charges on Friday, leading to calls for judicial reform throughout the nation. Protesters gathered Saturday at Federal Plaza, before walking several blocks alongside a substantial police presence.
