Manx protest to highlight racism overseas and at home

Monday, 8 June 2020 16:49

Black Lives Matter demonstration planned in Douglas

A protest planned in Douglas on Tuesday aims to raise awareness of racism both overseas, and here in the Isle of Man.

Organisers say the Black Lives Matter demonstration is to show solidarity with the many thousands protesting in the US and UK.

It's against police brutality towards black people, following the widely-reported death of George Floyd.

One of the local organisers is Barnard Mensah, the president of the Africans and Caribbeans of Mann group:
