Thousands take to the streets of Australia in BlackLivesMatter rally to raise awareness about death of Aboriginals in custody in wake of GeorgeFloyd protests
Protesters at rally to raise awareness about deaths of indigenous Aboriginals in custody in Perth, Australia on June 13, 2020.
"There have been people like my dad and Aunty Mingelly who have been pushing for change since they were my age ... you know that was 50 years ago," Jacinta Taylor, an organiser of the protest in Perth told the rally. Anti-racism protests were triggered around the world following the death late last month of African American George Floyd after a Minneapolis police officer was filmed kneeling on the handcuffed Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes.Perth saw the largest gathering of all major Australian cities on Saturday, despite pleas from the premier of Western Australia state, Mark McGowan, to cancel the event until the coronavirus pandemic was over.
