Several nights of protests across the country, including Greenville where several businesses were damaged or destroyed, have potentially made their way to Kinston.

In an email at 9:07 p.m. Sunday from Kinston City Clerk Debra Thompson, the Kinston City Council meeting for Monday at 7:00 p.m. has been canceled. No reason has been given.

According to multiple posts on social media within the last 24 hours, there is a planned protest gathering at 3:30 p.m. in downtown Kinston. There have been conflicting reports about where this protest begins, but all of the posts are consistent with 3:30 p.m. in downtown Kinston on Monday.

This story is developing.
