High-Key Details

Friday’s march has brought in thousands of protesters together at the Lincoln Memorial to call for racial equality and an end to social injustice. Civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton is also present in DC.

Planning began in June after the funeral of George Floyd. Organizers said they wanted to highlight the civil rights issues of today and bring well-known speakers to address the crowd while also mitigating the spread of the novel coronavirus with strict safety protocols. The march — dubbed the “Get Your Knee Off Our Necks” Commitment March on Washington — began with speeches from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, which was followed by a coordinated march to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in West Potomac Park.
