nowthisnews: MARCH ON WASHINGTON FOR RACIAL JUSTICE: In response to the death of George Floyd and others to police violence, thousands of demonstrators gathered for the ‘Get Your Knee Off Our Necks’ march in Washington D.C. on Friday, August 28, in support of racial justice. Civil rights leaders, Black Lives Matter activists, politicians and others spoke in front of the Lincoln Memorial to honor the 57th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘I Have a Dream’ address spoken from the same spot. Organizers began planning the march following Floyd’s funeral in June, though the gathering comes just days after the shooting of another unarmed Black man, Jacob Blake.
