Rally on steps of Jacksonville city hall addressed racism after deadly shooting in Buffalo.
– The shooting deaths of ten people in Buffalo is hitting many people hard in Jacksonville, and Monday a local group took over the steps of city hall, demanding action against all racist actions.
“We need to pray but we need to do something as well,” Pat McCollough of the Northside Coalition said. “It should not be illegal to be black.” There is much disbelief over the weekend murders, where an 18-year-old suspect admits to being a white supremist. It has many wondering about what could happen next. When News4JAX visited a predominantly black grocery store in Northwest Jacksonville, shoppers told us they don’t feel safe.Concerns, that brought people to the city hall demonstration today. Demonstrators point to the confederate monuments.
