Newark's peaceful protests draw on lessons from city's history

Seems like the police have enough sense to cut that brutality shyt amd actually try and win hearts and minds

Hopefully its legitimate and not a platitude

See how the cops are dressed in these pictures, regular clothes. When cops show up to these in full riot gear its like trying to have a serious conversation with someone and they throw boxing gloves on the table

I've been telling people, black people should leave NY and invest in Newark. The perception doesn't align with all the hard work I'm seeing.

The media has painted a very unfair portrait of the city

It's our duty as Newarkers to change that narrative.

Great interview with Larry Hamm, one of the organizers who actually lived through the riots of '67:

There’s a Simple Reason Protests in Newark Haven’t Turned Violent

Edit: Plus let's be honest people who grew up in South Orange, West Orange, and Bloomfield are too shook to come downtown even on a good day unless they used to being there.

Nobody scared of newark like that nowadays. There are mess of young white kids that hang out in Newark. And you named these 3 towns specifically because cuz the suburban Blacks that lived here tend to be better off. you got a problem?
