Anti-racism demonstrations, which rocked the US capital for the sixth consecutive day on Wednesday, were largely peaceful in contrast to the previous days when protesters were trying to set fire to Washington's St John’s Episcopal Church.
The demonstrators marched through the city streets starting from the area near the Capitol, and were followed by others in front of Lafayette Square and outside the Trump International Hotel. The National Guard formed a protective line near the White House to monitor order and block rioters from entering Lafayette Square.
