Activists Hold Black Trans Lives Matter March In Chicago
Organizers described the march Sunday as a "protest, not a party."
CHICAGO (CBS) — The Chicago Pride Parade that traditionally happens the last Sunday in June was canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But there were events to adapt to COVID-19, with a Black Trans Lives Matter march on Sunday that started at the Belmont Red, Brown, and Purple Line station.
Organizers described the march Sunday as a “protest, not a party.” They said instead of a parade filled with corporate floats, the event highlighted a community coming together.
