(Ed.'s Note: Brownsville joined in marches that have spread across the 50 states to protest police violence against civilians, especially black men. The group gathered in front of the federal courthouse at the Linear Park before marching across 7th Street in front of the Cameron County Courthouse on Harrison St.
The protest march today follows a series of personal protests from high school graduates during their graduation ceremonies yesterday and Monday where they kneeled during the playing of the national anthem. The day started out with a series of hard rain showers before the sun emerged in the afternoon when the sit-in was held in front of the county courthouse.)
