Atlantic Highlands Black Lives Matter March Planned For Monday

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ — There will be what is described as a "Family March To End Racism" Monday afternoon at the Atlantic Highlands Harbor.

Organizers say the protest is organized by local youth in Atlantic Highlands and Highlands, and say the protest is for AH and Highlands residents.

Attendees will start gathering at 3:30 p.m. at the gazebo in Atlantic Highlands and the march will begin at 4 p.m.

They will march up First Avenue, taking a right on West Mount and coming back on West Ave. After the march, they will gather at the gazebo for a few short speakers, a moment of silence and a prayer by local minister Jill Hubbard Smith.

"This is being led by youth in Atlantic Highlands," wrote organizers on a Facebook page for the event. "Your kids can make signs to in support of the cause, or to state how they’d like to see the world be a better place. Let's be part of change and show what an amazing community we are! PLEASE SHARE with other residents because #blacklivesmatter!"
