A balloon with the words"I Can't Breathe" flies away into the sky at the"Get Your Knee Off Our Necks" Commitment March on Washington 2020 at the spot where Rev. Martin Luther King Jr delivered his"I Have a Dream" speech 57 years ago today in Washington, U.S., August 28, 2020.
"In so many ways, we stand together today in the symbolic shadow of history, but we are making history together right now," said Martin Luther King III, Martin Luther King Jr's son. And earlier this week, protests broke out in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after police officers shot another African-American man, Jacob Blake, multiple times in front of his children. Though Blake survived the shooting, lawyers have said he has been paralyzed.
Jamaal Budik, a 23-year-old history student from Baltimore, said it was important for elected officials to understand that what had happened to Floyd and Blake could not continue."We just want what has been long denied to us - racial justice," Budik said.
