The March on Washington. |
BLACK LIVES MATTER
As the Republican National Convention wraps up, we hear that less than a dozen people attending the delegation nomination in Charlotte tested positive for the coronavirus.
Videos being shared online show Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and George state representative Vernon Jones (D) being heckled by protesters who were demanding them do something about Breona Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd and Jacob Blake.

Donald J. Trump spend over 70 minutes laying out his "agenda." His agenda was to label his opponent Joe Biden as a radical socialist who will destroy America if he's elected.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) delivers a blistering attack on Trump's handling of the coronavirus.
Trump didn't even mention her in his long winded acceptance speech. He will rank second in one of the longest convention speeches. The news channels aren't pleased about this.
They were told that the speech would not be long. They lost precious advertising time because of Trump's long winded speech. They lost revenue airing his acceptance speech.
We'll see if this gives him a bump in the polls.
Today, Rev. Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III and L. Benjamin Crump hosted the March on Washington in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech. It's been 65 years since the murder of Emmett Till. Today, the March on Washington will acknowledge it and the demand for police reform.
This is being held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
The March on Washington is expected to be a large rally. |
The families of those killed by police and vigilantes are expected to speak today.
This March on Washington is a call to action. The NAACP, the National Action Network, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference said that it's time to do something now! They said that systematic racism has went too far.
This is a voter registration drive as well.
The will honor the legacy of John Lewis, the civil rights activist and Georgia lawmaker who passed away this year.
They are calling for Congress to pass the George Floyd Police Reform bill and John Lewis Voting Rights bill.
At the march, protesters are required to wear facial mask and gloves. They will provide them for those who didn't bring them.
