Black Lives Matter: A Pictorial Review Of Local Rallies And Protests In Westchester County

We Can’t Breathe Unity Rally, Mount Vernon, Tuesday, June 2, 2020

We don’t want to just scream about it, we want to talk about solutions, we want to make sure that there is proper training, proper screening, proper disciplinary procedures that are put in place, and we want to make sure that we are able to restore trust, hope accountability and faith in local law enforcement – Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard

“The content of our lives has been misrepresented because they manipulate the context. So, be the narrator!” Emerging Hip-Hop artist, producer, and activist Niko Brim shared with the crowd. “The looting and rioting are only reactionary to the destructive force racism and systematic oppression have been using to terrorize generations of African-Americans. I am not condoning the behavior, but I understand. In a perfect world, there would be no need, but we all know it isn’t so.”
