Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette to hold ‘peaceful protest walk’ in Jacksonville

Over the past week, many around the nation - and around the world -, have held protests in the name of slain Minnesota resident George Floyd at the hands of police officers, one in which has been charged with second degree murder and manslaughter.

Announced via social media Wednesday night, Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette has plans to host his very own peaceful protest walk in Jacksonville (Fla.) sometime next week. Fournette is calling everyone in Duval to come out and support.

Earlier on Wednesday, Jaguars owner Shad Khan issued a public op-ed in regards to the social injustice bestowed on people of color, something that he, as a man of color has also had to deal with at times.
