BOSTON, Mass.,__A peaceful protest in honor of the late George Floyd, the African American man who met his painful death after being choked by the knee of a white police officer in Minneapolis this week, as well as many other unarmed black citizens who have been recently killed by police has been planned to take place in Boston today evening starting 6.30 pm.
Organized by the Black Lives Matter movement, the protest will kick off at the Nubian Square in Dudley within the Roxbury outskirts of Boston and end that the State house on Beacon Hill. Organizers are calling for all well wishers from all races appalled by the racism inspired killing of the African American man to come out in large numbers to register their frustration with the never ending injustice meted on many African American young men across the United States. Several weeks ago, another young black man was shot and killed while jogging in a Georgia suburb, with authorities ignoring to make arrests of the killers until a video of the killing surfaced ion social media, sparking widespread outcry. A "Black out Day" has also been organized and spreading on social media to take place on Sunday July 7 when all minorities and people of color have been called upon to halt their spending for 24 hours. "This is to call to action. We need one day of solidarity in America when not one person spends a dollar. This includes Africans, native Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics and all people of color," reads the announcement. "Together, we have 3.9 trillion dollars economic spending power," which translates into about 10 billion a day lost in economic earning every time a black person is killed unfairly in the USA, organizers estimate. The shocking killing of George Floyd has spooked the nerves of all black and minority citizens and immigrant residents of USA especially young boys who have been instructed by parents to obey the law and instructions during interactions with white police officers, only to be shocked that they still can be killed while doing exactly as taught. See announcements below.
