‘The list is too long’: DeKalb activists hold vigil for victims of police brutality
DeKALB – George Floyd, Daunte Wright, Adam Toledo, Ma’Khia Bryant, were only a few of the many lives remembered at Friday’s vigil to remember those who’ve lost their lives to police brutality.
“The list is too long,” said Jocelyn Santana, local Black Lives Matter leader and director of social justice education at NIU. “Too long.”
Local Black Lives Matter activists and DeKalb residents met at Memorial Park, 101 Lincoln Highway, for a candlelight vigil to mourn the loss of Black and Brown lives “due to systemic and institutional violence.”
