St. Ignatius Church

"100 protesters, including Boston College students and Jesuits, covered the lawn of St. Ignatius Church"

10 June 2020 – Facing outward toward Commonwealth Avenue, a crowd of about 100 protesters, including Boston College students and Jesuits, covered the lawn of St. Ignatius Church on Sunday afternoon. At the demonstration, organized by students from Boston College’s School of Theology and Ministry (STM), attendees stood in silence to protest racial inequality and police brutality. The event is one of many in the Greater Boston area to have occurred since a police officer killed George Floyd by placing his knee into Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes.
