On George Floyd Day, activists from the Harriet Tubman Center L.A. took the street. The Oct. 14 rally was held at the corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Figueroa, in USC’s shadow. It answered right-wing calls to honor the fascist Charlie Kirk. Speakers denounced racist police killings and named the dead. They tied the police war on Black and Brown youth to the White House offensive against the working class using federal troops.
