NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -Thousands marched through Brooklyn on Friday in celebration of Juneteenth and to continue the calls for change.
“Last year on June 19th, this didn’t happen. This year, it happened, but it’s sad that a death, and deaths of black people, caused this to happen,” said 19-year-old Yahshiyah Vines.
CBS2’s Kevin Rincon reports Vines helped organize a protest following the death of George Floyd that wound up attracting thousands.
“To all the people who disagree with the protesting, just come outside and walk with us one day to see what it’s really like,” said Vines.
