On Tuesday, November 25 protests and marches fanned out across the city of New York. One of those marches began in Union Square and zig zagged through the Lower East Side, down the FDR Drive, and ultimately across the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn. The march ended in Bedford Stuyvesant at the intersection of Nostrand and Fulton. A number of folks offered some remarks at the conclusion of the protest.
One of them was Darnell L. Moore, a writer and activist who lives in Brooklyn, NY. He is a co-managing editor of The Feminist Wire and member of the Black Lives Matter team.
I am posting the audio of his remarks with his permission.
