Shortly before noon, a large crowd gathered at Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street to protest police brutality and the death of George Floyd.
On Tuesday, protesters returned. The crowd marched down McCadden Place holding signs saying, “Amerikkka is looted land,” “Stop the war on black Americans” and “Latinos for black lives.” Cars blocked in by the action honked in solidarity.“I feel like there needs to be change,” said the 15-year-old, who marched in downtown L.A. earlier this week with his parents and held a sign that read “#mexicanos for black lives.
“It’s 2020 and black people are still being oppressed. We need to stop discriminating against one another,” he said.
