There is still no baseball being played in Los Angeles, but Dodger Stadium was lit up in all of its beauty on Wednesday night in honor of George Floyd, a black man who was killed at the hands of white police officers in Minnesota.
The Los Angeles Dodgers joined families across the city in shining their lights for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in recognition of the time a police officer put his knee on the neck of George Floyd, resulting in Mr. Floyd’s death.
A NBC Los Angeles news helicopter started at Chavez Ravine and then toured the city to show people using cell phones, porch lights, and spotlights to participate in the powerful moment.
