June 5, 2020 Decatur - Foreground from left, Max Schubert, MD, Micky Davis (Nurse Practitioner), Thien Le, MD, and Yvonne Little, MD, take a knee for eight minutes and 46 seconds in memory of George Floyd "and countless others," in a demonstration they call White Coats for Black Lives at Emory University Quadrangle on Emory University campus in Decatur on Friday, June 5, 2020. Doctors these days are finding themselves at the intersection of America's race debate: giving advice to protestors on how to protect their eyes from tear gas and speaking their frustration at seeing people of color disproportionately sickened by COVID-19. On Friday at 1pm, a group organized by Emory med students is taking a knee at Emory University for eight minutes and 46 seconds in memory of George Floyd "and countless others," in a demonstration they call White Coats for Black Lives.
