From Stuttgart to Seoul, from Paris to Pretoria, people have turned out to protest the death of George Floyd, who was killed by a police officer two weeks ago.
Following on from widespread action last weekend, many have once again turned out, defying bans on assembly due to Covid-19.
For each country, they have used the moment not just to show solidarity with African Americans, but also to address their own country's past, and the racism which exists still.
In Mexico, protests turned violent, with demonstrators demanding justice for a construction worker, who was allegedly beaten to death in policy custody.
In the UK, while thousands went to the American embassy in London, in Bristol, a gathering of demonstrators have torn down the statue of Edward Colston - a seventeenth century slave trader.
They then dragged the statue - which has been the focus of much contention within the city - and threw it into the harbour.
The statue has been a feature of the city centre since 1895 - Colston also lends his name to the premium arts facility in the city, as well as a local grammar school.
