Protesters in D.C. paid a visit to the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial while demonstrating.
WASHINGTON — Protesters in D.C. paid a visit to the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial while demonstrating against the death of a black man while in police custody.
Maya Taybron, a 15-year-old high schooler from Washington, DC, said she had joined the group rallying at the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial because so many African Americans had been treated “badly for no reason, just for the color of our skin.” Thursday's protest through the city is the latest in a weeklong effort and part of nationwide demonstrations being held in Floyd's name.
“If you come from privilege, tell them what privilege is. And tell them how to use their privilege to give back to the voiceless," she said.
