ORLANDO, Fla. – Thousands of people all over the country, including in Central Florida, are taking part in what’s called #BlackOutTuesday.
It's an effort done to show support for George Floyd by not posting on social media and many are also supporting black businesses.
It’s happening at a time where many businesses say it’s most needed in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Torri Porter chose to support the movement by having lunch at Jesse’s Rib Shack in Orlando. “To make sure that they know that we have their back, and that we’re going to make sure that they thrive in our communities,” Porter said.
