Juneteenth protestors march from Brooklyn to Manhattan

Thousands of New Yorkers gathered at Cadman Square park yesterday, to prepare for a long day of protesting.

The protests were held by a grassroots organization named Unite NY, founded by a group of passionate young activists after the murder of George Floyd.

The rally was supported by Black Lives Matter, and despite the heat, demonstrators showed up wearing black clothing.
