“The reason I planned this protest is because I’ve seen enough,” march organizer Lily Harmon told the Holland Sentinel. “Enough innocent people’s lives taken by the hands that are supposed to be protecting us because of prejudice and fear.”
The protest came a day after a similar demonstrations in South Haven and downtown Grand Rapids which drew diverse crowds and ended peacefully.
