She wanted him to look at her.
Kalkidan Miller heard him yelling. At first, she thought he was preaching. Then she realized he was shouting at their group standing outside Olin T. Binkley Memorial Baptist Church near Fordham Boulevard as they held their weekly Black Lives Matter vigil.
âItâs not about Black lives,â Miller recalls the man saying. Other bystanders recall hearing him say âall lives matter,â and using the n-word. His daughter was standing beside him, adding some âyeahsâ and repeating after her father. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and holding a glass bottle.

Six years later, Chapel Hill murders continue to resonate in polarized nation
Raleigh, North Carolina (WRAL) Six years ago Wednesday, three Muslim college students were gunned down in their Chapel Hill home.
Deah Barakat, 23, his wife, Yusor Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister, Razan Abu-Salha, 19, were killed on Feb. 10, 2015, by neighbor Craig Stephen Hicks in what prosecutors and the victims’ relatives called a hate crime against Muslims.
“A lot of people remember it like it was yesterday. For me, I feel like it was lifetimes ago,” said Farris Barakat, Deah Barakat’s brother.
Farris Barakat has worked hard to correct details of the shooting, which Chapel Hill police initially attributed to a parking dispute at the complex where Hicks and the three students lived.
