KATY, Texas Thousands of protesters showed up to a student-organized march in Katy Park on Thursday.
The event, in honor of George Floyd, was held by Katy for Justice, a group started by three Katy Independent School District students.
Its a way to speak out about systemic racism in America, to organize Katy under that common goal and to recognize the issues prevalent in our society, Alverez said.
The Cinco Ranch High School junior said she and co-organizers, Jeffrey Jin and Foyin Dosunmu, have spent countless hours arranging the meet-up.
Following the march, a lineup of speakers addressed the crowd, calling for change within the judicial system as well as justice for George Floyd.
