West Philadelphia native Amir Campbell brings life experiences to UD
Amir Campbell did not need a television, computer, smartphone or any other type of device to view the protests following the death of George Floyd in May. He just had to look out the window or step out the door of his West Philadelphia home to see what was happening in his neighborhood.
Although there was not any violence or destructive activity in more than 93% of all the demonstrations between May 24 and Aug. 22, Campbellâs community was subjected to non-peaceful actions and it greatly upset him.
