U.S. Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris joined the March on Washington rally virtually on Friday, paying tribute to the late congressman John Lewis. Harris spoke about Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, as Lewis’ “George Floyd.”
Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King II helped lead the March on Washington in D.C. with thousands of activists calling for criminal justice and police reform, and racial equality.
On the 57th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” address at the Lincoln Memorial, the families of Black Americans shot or killed by police officers spoke before marching to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.
