People demonstrating against police violence temporarily blocked traffic on I-630 in Little Rock Saturday night, according to a report by KATV, the ABC affiliate in Little Rock.A "large number" of protesters that had gathered at the State Capitol marched onto the Interstate, the report quoted a police spokesperson as saying. The demonstrators were peaceful and police did not interfere, the spokesperson said.The Little Rock demonstration was part of nationwide protests sparked by recent police killings of African-Americans, including that of George Floyd in Minneapolis.The history of I-630 is intertwined with the history of race relations in Little Rock. When the Interstate was designed, the planned route avoided historic landmarks but required the destruction of the African-American business district and the homes of many African-Americans, according to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas."Analysts of the city’s demographics have argued that Interstate 630 serves as a potent physical and psychological divider in the social fabric of the state’s largest city," the encyclopedia states.
