The curfew had been put in place 1 week ago, after looting and vandalism broke out around the city. This followed several peaceful protests in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, while in police custody. Several peaceful events have been held in the area since that night, including a viewing and memorial service for Floyd in Raeford on June 6.
Lumberton has also rescinded the curfew in effect there.
