New Yorkers Gather for Silent March to End Racial Profiling

"Moving forward, we have to continue to connect with our allies, with all the community groups that came out here." -- 2012 Silent March Protester

Driven by a genuine urge to end racial profiling by denouncing NYPD's Stop and Frisk policy, thousands upon thousands of New Yorkers came together this Father's Day in a powerful silent march through the streets of New York. Primarily organized by the NAACP, the march conveyed the discrimination and desire to maintain dignity felt by not just those who had been stopped and frisked before, but community members in general, particularly in consideration of the recent murder of Trayvon Martin.
