This past Sunday, June 14, thousands of New Yorkers marched together, walking from Washington Heights to Harlem and El Barrio. People from all nationalities banded together to protest anti-Blackness and the recent murder of George Floyd, whose killing is part of the long history of Black people who have been killed at the hands of law enforcement in the United States. New Yorkers are very familiar with the long history of violence and anti-Blackness against Black people in the United States. Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Tony McDade, Tanisha Anderson, Michael Brown, Iyanna Dior, and Dontre Hamilton are among those killed by law enforcement throughout the nation. Sean Bell, Eric Garner, Amadou Diallo, Akai Gurley, and Kike García are New Yorkers whose deaths resulted from interactions with the New York Police Department.
