Sparked by the death of George Floyd, a black man who died May 25 in police custody in Minneapolis, hundreds of North Fort Worth residents gathered June 2 for a peaceful protest at the intersection of Heritage Trace Parkway and North Riverside Drive.
“I’m out here because of my sons,” said Clo Sneed, who lives in the Alliance area. “My sons are American, and they shouldn’t be afraid. I want the world to change for them.”
Among the nearly 200 protesters were a number of young adults and families, including Northeast Fort Worth resident Vinu Singh.
“I came out because I want to teach my sons that it’s not OK to be racist,” Singh said. “I want to set an example for them, and hopefully, they’ll grow up to be better people.”
