Black Lives Matter rally and walk planned for Espanola

A small group of people in Espanola is hosting a Black Lives Matter rally and walk in Espanola.
One of the organizers, Andrew Mercer, says police have already indicated they will be present while the rally is held and the group plans to follow COVID-19 guidelines.
Mercer says while their message is one of inclusion, it also acknowledges that racism does exist and must be overcome for society to work together for the common good.
He adds it is also in memory of George Floyd, a black man who died last week in the U. S.
Floyd’s death has prompted peaceful protests and riots throughout the States and a police officer has been charged with third-degree murder.
The rally begins at 1:00 pm at Espanola’s town hall.
Mercer says the advocates want to spend the afternoon sharing a message of peace followed by a walkabout town starting at 6:00 pm from the town office, down Highway Six, to Second Avenue, down Mead Boulevard to Tudhope and then back to town hall.
He adds anyone wanting to join in is more than welcome to help spread the message of peace.
