A few photos of #MountDora #UnityWalk Saturday. #everyvoicematters in the fight for #BlackLivesMatter

#MountDora Love Peace & Unity walk in wake of #GeorgeFloydDeath attracted nearly 300 marchers Saturday, including #MDPD, local officials & pastors. It was a quieter scene than traditional #protests, but still powerful & love/hope-filled. #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/XEysGi0M8a

Collaborative story my @dailycommercial colleagues and I worked on together re: Clermont #GeorgeFloyd, #PoliceBrutality, #blacklivesmatter protests Wed. Click on video for live footage of the Waterfront Park demonstration & words from Organizer RJ Rogers. https://t.co/j6KS8h51dY

At one point, a crowd of hundreds, maybe even 1,000, at a #GeorgeFloydProtest in #Clermont, began to sing #WeShallOvercome together and that was a powerful moment, but this young girl’s passion, her emotion and her words really seemed to stick out & hit home for many there.

Hundreds of #protestors against police brutality & racial injustice, following the killing of #GeorgeFloyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis last week, gathered for a peaceful march and demonstration in Clermont this afternoon & it was powerful. #NoJusticeNoPeace #BLM

#Eustis commissioners to vote on land purchase Thurs that could result in construction of #Lighthouse5, the largest #driveinmovietheatre in the world. What do you all think? As a kid in AZ, I saw Bambi, Jaws & Star Wars at a drive-in!https://t.co/e2ercc6fl5

Tomorrow a big day in #Tavares since officials, at 10:30am, will dedicate a #GrovelandFour memorial, placed in front of the Old Lake County Courthouse, in their honor. Apologies, pardons, a monument...all great, but #exonerations plz, FDLE. It’s time!

Had the pleasure of speaking w/WWII vet/fighter pilot Major Jack Hallett,99! He is funny, humble & has fascinating stories to tell about having served. He waa awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, which is big, & he will be featured at Eustis’ Georgefest Parade Sat morning.

I’ve never met a couple who goes all out for #ValentinesDay like this cute couple does (well, how the wife mostly does!!), let alone a couple whose last name is Valentine! They were honestly a pleasure to talk to. Have a great day everyone!! 🤗💕🌻 https://t.co/WgvLmjHIDL

#Christmas2020 in #Clermont will be that much brighter w/the return of the #CitrusTower’s light show people, for two years, have missed greatly. And it’s all thanks to the #community and #localbusinesses coming together for good; helping one another out. https://t.co/eC0rQI1DHX

#FloridaGovernor #RickScott personally thanked 329 #veterans for their service w/medals (#GovernorServiceAward) at Florida National Guard Armory in Eustis today. Huge crowd there for ceremony. These vets have so many stories... and some are true heroes.
