DULUTH – Nearly 150 people filled a downtown street Wednesday to protest the police killing of Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center as refrains of "No justice, no peace" and "Black lives matter" pierced an otherwise quiet afternoon.
"We're being told by police, 'Put your hands up' and you're still killing us," organizer Lamarquita Leach said. "There's so much in the system that needs to change. We'd have to start a whole new system."
The crowd marched to City Hall from the Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial, the site where in 1920 a white mob lynched three Black men on false accusations of rape. Since the death of George Floyd last year, the memorial has become a gathering place for those seeking social justice.
