Protests are continuing in Omaha following the death of George Floyd. Nearly 75 demonstrators gathered outside the 11-Worth Cafe at 24th and Leavenworth Streets yesterday to speak out against a Facebook post made by the son of the restaurant's owner. Demonstrators also spoke out against a breakfast dish on the restaurant's menu named after Civil War Confederate General Robert E. Lee and demanded that the item be renamed.
UPDATE: The owners of the 11-Worth Cafe have permanently closed the restaurant. The Omaha World-Herald reports in addition to protests outside the cafe, the owners said they had received threats via social media and had to call police twice to their family homes.
