On July 28, 1917, in New York City, a silent parade was staged in protest of the East St. Louis, Illinois, massacre of July 2, 1917, as well as the recent lynchings in Waco, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee. The march was organized by the NAACP, churchmen and other civic leaders to protest the violent events against African Americans around the country. The United States had just entered World War I and many were questioning the use of African-American soldiers to fight in a war that President Woodrow Wilson had described as necessary to the survival of democracy abroad, especially at a time when these same men and their families were denied their basic rights here in the United States. President Wilson continually dismissed the requests of African-American leadership to address the problem of lynching and was considered by many to be one of the most racist presidents ever to occupy the White House. The lynching and murdering of blacks was on the rise. And in the wartime climate many African Americans were migrating to the North, both to escape racial oppression in the South and to secure the plentiful jobs in the munitions centers and factories in the Northern urban centers.
The riots in East St. Louis began when whites, angry because African Americans were employed by a factory holding government contracts, went on a rampage. Over $400,000 worth of property was destroyed. At least 40 African Americans were killed. Men, women and children were beaten, stabbed, hanged and burned. Nearly 6,000 African Americans were driven from their homes.
Across the country, people were aghast at the violence. On July 28, 8,000 African Americans, primarily from Harlem, marched silently down Fifth Avenue. They were dressed in their finest clothes and marched to the sound of muffled drums. They carried picket signs while thousands of New Yorkers watched from the sidewalks. The children marched as well as the adults. Some of the banners read: "Mother, do lynchers go to heaven?" "Mr. President, why not make America safe for democracy?" "Thou shalt not kill." "Pray for the Lady Macbeths of East St. Louis." "Give us a Chance to Live."
The New York Age reported on the march:
They marched without uttering one word or making a single gesticulation and protested in respectful silence against the reign of mob law, segregation, "Jim Crowism" and many other indignities to which the race is unnecessarily subjected in the United States. (1917)
Lynching was never declared a felony by the judicial system of the United States.

Jacques Rogge, Chairman of the IOC was reported to be deeply saddened by this incident. This photo is not widely circulated either in print media or on the Internet as journalists strive to paint a positive image of the anti-Chinese protesters.

On May 23rd, 2019, demonstrators and leafleters gathered at McDonald’s annual shareholders’ meeting to encourage the company to use its power for good and end the horrific cruelty endured by chickens killed for its menu items. This year’s shareholders’ meeting was held inside a hotel at Dallas Fort Worth Airport, and for the first time away from its Illinois headquarters, possibly a reaction from our large protest in Chicago at the same event last year.
With more demonstrators than shareholders on site, McDonald’s should know advocates are committed to ending #McChickenCruelty. Aside from organizing the protest, we also took out full-page newspaper ads in the Dallas Morning News and the Chicago Tribune, as well as commissioned mobile billboards, geo-targeted ads at the entire airport and social media actions.
I asked them why the masks, and they said that protestors had been followed, harrassed and threatened.

The latest Stop the War march. Having initially allegedly banned it, the Metropolitan Police relented, allowing 5000 people to march down Whitehall to Parliament Square.
However upon arriving in the Square the protestors were met with massive limitations - College Green still inexplicably cordoned off, space provided for no more than a couple of hundred and huge numbers of police. The back of the demonstration ended up getting held very tightly together by the police on Whitehall for a very long time as the police struggled to come up with more suitable arrangements. Unsurprisingly when they were finally allowed through, feelings were very high and a sit down protest on the intersection resulted.

Several demonstrations took place peacefully across central Manchester on Saturday 21 February 2026, with officers working closely with organisers to ensure people could protest safely and that wider disruption was kept to a minimum.
A significant policing operation was in place throughout the day with additional resources deployed and pre-prepared plans activated alongside partner agencies to help the day run smoothly.
Assistant Chief Constable Rick Jackson, gold commander for the day's policing operation said: “Manchester was expected to be extremely busy, with multiple planned protests in the city centre as well as several football matches.
“We put extra officers on duty to support people’s right to protest peacefully while reducing the impact on the wider public.
“Thanks to the efforts of our officers on the ground and the planning done with our partners, hundreds of people from a range of groups were able to come together safely, with no significant issues reported.
“Greater Manchester is a place where people can confidently and lawfully express their views, while ensuring that residents, workers, and visitors can go about their day feeling safe.”
