Solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement has been seen across the city and even the Duke has dressed appropriately.
Here are some of the ways Glasgow has shown its support for the movement.
The Duke of Wellington
Possibly one of Glasgow's most-known statues, The Duke of Wellington, often receives a makeover to fit the occasion.
This time his orange cone has been replaced with a black one featuring the characteristic symbol of the Black Lives Matter movement.

South Side Solidarity
The South Side has been particularly vocal in its support for the movement.
On Saturday evening, a light show demanding justice for Sheku Bayoh took place near Pollokshaws Road.
Sheku Bayoh died in 2015 with a number of injuries after being restrained by officers in Kirkcaldy, Fife.

City centre street names
The name of Glasgow city centre streets has been the source of a lot of debate in recent days.

Activists strived to bring attention to the history of some city-centre streets which have been named after slave owners by hanging up new street plaques.
Proposed new names included Sheku Bayoh Street and George Floyd Street, replacing Cochrane Street and Buchanan Street respectively.
These are some of the ways Glasgow has seen support in the past few days, however many have also been supporting charities and organisation such as CRER, The Red Card and Stop Hate UK.
Earlier in the week, members of Glasgow's black community spoke to the Glasgow Times about what the movement means to them.
