Yesterday’s Black Lives Matter rally/demonstration featured a multi-racial contingent that marched through Downtown Syracuse (ironically along some streets with names straight outta the pages of American history, such as Franklin, Washington and Jefferson). Numerous residents and workers viewed the march from parking lots or office buildings above the city.

Peaceful Journey
Tuesday, December 9th, 2014We found out about last night’s march for social justice via social media (Thanks Syracuse Media Group’s Dave Tobin). The multi-generational, multi-cultural group of peaceful (but vocal) protesters began their journey at Hendricks Chapel, marched through campus (with a brief pause at Bird Library), then despite the wind chill near 20 degrees, hopped on the Connective Corridor before hitting Harrison Street, and eventually occupying a portion of Downtown Syracuse.
In appreciation for the march and the movement, with end with an album that was recorded on this day during the height of the Civil Right Movement (see below).
