The streets of New York City
have certainly witnessed its
share of acts of civil
disobedience, violence and
rebellion. Dating back as far
as the Draft Riots of 1863,
very often, the
disenfranchised would take to
the streets when opposing the
government�??s unfair policies
and practices. Eight years ago
when an unarmed African
immigrant by the name of
Amadou Diallo was shot at 41
times (hit 19 times) by 4 New
York City Police Officers, the
people took to the streets
charging the NYPD with police
brutality. Over the next two
years that followed, a series
of marches and protests was
set into motion that would
forever change the lives of
New Yorkers. At its conceptual
root, spearheaded by Rev Al
Sharpton and the National
Action Network, was the march
for justice for Diallo.
However, in the midst of the
struggles a new breed of
protestor began to emerge.
Along the side of the activist
stood politicians, students
and professors, unions and
laborers. The shout of �??No
Justice - No Peace!�?� What do
we want? JUSTICE!�?� Now
became �??What do we
want??BOOKS! HOUSING! JOBS!
Diallo�??s death became a
symbol for justice on all
fronts. 360 Media recounts
this bitter and yet compelling
part of New York City history
in the upcoming documentary
entitled �??365 Days of
Marching�?� The Amadou Diallo
