Protests continue across the country tonight....and right here in the wabash valley.

Tonight a group of people stood outside the vigo county courthouse.

But -- for a different reason.

News 10's sarah lehman is live at the courthouse right now.

She has more on what's going on.

Patrece...rondrell... this is now the 5th day that some thing has been going on in front of the vigo county court house.

*describe scene* it seems like every day -- they are asking for it to remain peaceful earlier -- this group of people was holding a candelight vigil.

That's to remember not only george floyd.

The man killed in minneapolis.

But to remember black people across the country who have been killed.

Protesters and police officers both want this to continue to be peaceful.
