365 DAYS OF MARCHING - THE AMADOU DIALLO STORY - TRAILER
THE AMADOU DIALLO STORY
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 & 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.
