Baltimore protests

The Baltimore protests, primarily occurring in 2015, were sparked by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old Black man who suffered fatal injuries while in police custody. His death led to widespread outrage over issues of police brutality and racial injustice, reflecting broader national concerns about systemic racism. The protests included peaceful demonstrations and some instances of unrest. They aimed to raise awareness about the need for police reform and accountability, igniting conversations about race relations, social justice, and the treatment of marginalized communities in the United States. Subsequent investigations and changes in city policy followed.
