MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Over 350 protestors came together Sunday afternoon to stand against antisemitism and white supremacy in the community.
“We’re protesting to be heard, because no justice, no peace, because no justice, no peace, and the reality is it should not be our reality. It should not be our truth and this nightmare needs to end,” said Kenneth Reid, Director of African American Affairs at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
The protest was organized in response to neo-Nazi stickers posted around Mankato and St. Peter earlier this month, but the rally’s call for justice expanded with the recent death of Daunte Wright, who was shot and killed by police in Brooklyn Center.
“Unless you receive that call, ‘Mom, I have been stopped. They want my insurance. There’s two cops, one is holding his gun.’ You can never understand unless, as a parent, you receive that call,” added Ayan Musse, Diversity and Inclusion Specialist at Greater Mankato Growth.
