FILE - In this Aug. 10, 2020, file photo, Demetria Hester, center, speaks to the media after being released from the Multnomah County Justice Center following her arrest in Portland, Ore. More than two months of sustained, intense protests in Portland, Oregon, one of the whitest major cities in America, have captured the world's attention and put a city that's less than 6% Black at the heart of the conversation about police brutality and racism. A group taking part in the protests named Moms United for Black Lives are led each night by Hester, a Black activist who was attacked three years ago by a white supremacist, an incident that some believe set the stage for the city's current racial reckoning.
