'It was like a magnet attracted us to go exactly there,' says bride Lara Sanders
A newlywed biracial couple emphasized the power of love and hope as they celebrated their nuptials at a Los Angeles protest this week.
Prior to that emotional moment, Watumull, 39, says he, his new wife Esha and at least 500 others were standing at the intersection of Wilshire Blvd. and Barrington Ave., peacefully protesting. "I dared her to go," Mekonnen shares. "I grabbed her hand and said, 'You wanna do this? Let's go,' and her hand was shaking."
For Sanders and Mekonnen, they say they were overwhelmed by the positive reaction of the protesters, but note how the moment meant more than just a photo or video opportunity.
