The Cornell Review is reporting that members of the Black Lives Matter movement marched through Ithaca this weekend.

Black Lives Matter Protesters March Through Downtown Ithaca

“No justice, no peace, no racist police!” That’s what local protestors shouted this past Saturday as they participated in a “Solidarity March” along Seneca Street in downtown Ithaca, holding signs reading “BLACK LIVES MATTER” and, as one woman brazenly displayed, “CALL OUT WHITE + HETERO SUPREMACY”.

The group, organized partially by Cornell’s Black Students United, started in the Commons by interrupting the performance of a jazz group playing for local shoppers. After staging at this location for ten minutes, the marchers commenced, moving west on Seneca, guided by people wearing orange safety vests that read “Race Official”.

Three or four Ithaca Police units intervened at West Seneca and North Albany, as the group of over 200 blocked the busy intersection, making their turn on the way to Beverly J. Martin Elementary, where the three-hour “teach-in” was held.

During this teach-in, Ithaca College assistant professor Sean Eversely Bradwell gave a talk, which according the the event’s Facebook page, was designed to “expose ‘All Lives Matter’ for what it is: an attempt to silence the outcry against anti-black violence.”
