BUFFALO (WBEN) - In solidarity with the March on Washington D.C., Buffalo residents held a Black Lives Matter march down Hertel Avenue Friday evening.
The march lasted several hours, beginning at Main Street, walking and chanting all the way down past Elmwood Avenue, and then returning to the original gathering spot on Main Street.
Of course, this march came at the end of a week filled with protests around the country in reaction to the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday.
The message from organizers prior to the march was a simple one:
Bring your masks, your friends, your signs, your voices, hearts and minds. Wear black. Stay safe and vigilant.
