Darrell washington knows racism all to well.

Growing up in rochester ?

"* hes noticed that black issues have been swept under the rug by community leaders.

Today ?

"* he took to the stage to talk about creating change not only in the justice system but in the community.

He says right now it's important that people continue to fight.

"normally with movements you see an uprise, a climax and then it goes back down to normal and that's what we have seen in the past with black lives matter movements where people become disinterested and disenchanted with what's been going on.

But we are here to say that we are keeping this momentum going and to say we wont be silenced again and you can see that with all the protest from all over the world.

Look live: organizers also set up a registration booth so people can register to vote this is another way organizers are trying to prompt change in
