Protests about police brutality continued through the weekend in South Florida, including this gathering Saturday in Miami.

Protests against police brutality continued Sunday in South Florida as two small groups rallied in Miami Lakes and Homestead, with another planned for Wynwood in the evening.

In suburban Miami Lakes on Northwest 154th Street, about 100 protesters gathered along the road holding signs and chanting Sunday afternoon. The protest, organized by 19-year-old Nina Zamora, had caused a stir in recent days in Miami Lakes, a community where only about 3 percent of the population is black.
