On a weekend trip to New York City to visit my brother, Anthony, Michael and I encountered a scene that we had been learning about. On Saturday night on December 13th, we were walking to a smoothie place when we noticed an unusual scene. A street not filled with cars but with people, thousands of people. Earlier that day we had noticed police on every street corner as if preparing for something bu thought nothing of it until then. As we got closer we began to realize this march was about the justice system and how unhappy they were with it. We saw people leading cheers such as "Whose streets? Our streets!" being yelled with the crowd and motions where one person would up their hands and everyone would follow in suit saying "I can't breathe." We were in East Village near Manhattan where we saw them at around 5 and later that night around 1 am we saw them in Times Square. That is an extremely long march and from what I experienced was very peaceful and appropriate. The only news I heard on it was that it caused major traffic problems.  We were amazed by how large this was and how many people participated. 1/10 people were holding signs and everyone was participating in chants. Many people, including Michael and I, stopped on the sidewalk to take videos and pictures of this. This was the first time we ever saw something like this and was just amazed as to how something we talked alot about in school was right infront of our eyes. I looked up news on the march and here is the link. From reading this I learned that there were MILLIONS there. Wow.
