“We’re going backward,” said Lawrence Williams, a member of the National Action Network. “We are being furthered disconnected from our history to our way of life.”

“When I was 12, I was in Memphis at Dr. King’s very last speech. We’ve been to a lot of marches. Marches haven’t changed; leadership has changed. Marches don’t fix things; they point out the things that need to be fixed. Nobody cares about you until you come in the street and demand something.”
