Protesters gathered in Tacoma marching through gentrifying Black neighborhoods

On Sunday, January 24, 2021, a diverse group of protesters from Seattle to Portland gathered in Frost Park in Tacoma after a police cruiser struck a group of people the previous evening, sending two to the hospital. Before the protest, Black Tacoma protest organizers pulled out of the event, and others who attended left in frustration as outside protesters would not listen to guidance from people from the city. We show previously unaired video and interview Azreal Graves of Black and Done (B.A.D.).
