NYC Protesters March Against Alleged White Supremacist Slaying Of Black Man [View all]

“White folks now have felt encouraged and emboldened to take steps to target folks that look like me,” one of the speakers says.




NEW YORK ― Nelini Stamp wants America to say Timothy Caughman’s name ― not the name of the man who killed him.


“Timothy was killed by a white supremacist, by a white terrorist,” Stamp told a crowd of about 300 protesters Friday evening in Manhattan’s Union Square.


This man, she said, “came from Baltimore to New York City ― our city ― to kill black people. He killed Timothy. We will not say this man’s name because he wants to be known. Instead we will say Timothy’s name to make sure no one ever forgets Timothy.”
