Morrisville residents hold family-friendly Black Lives Matter protest

"We care about the lives of all people--but we're out here today protesting because everybody doesn't care about black lives," said Abenah Harding, who was out there because the issue of police violence is close to her heart.

As a black mother, she said she is emotionally impacted by the death of George Floyd--and other black men and young people like Trayvon Martin.

"I have a black son who is five. George Floyd could have been my son. Trayvon Martin could have been my son," she said.

Taylor Harding, who was marching alongside Abenah and holding a sign reading 'Justice 4 Breonna Taylor' said, "We are trying to move forward to a better America where this is not tolerated and where systemic racism ends."

Jim Sawyer, who organized the march along with his wife, said, "We wanted to do something here in our town. It's a little bit smaller, a little bit safer for the kids to come out and really see if they can effect change."

"Today is all about teaching people to understand each other and to show more love and less divisiveness," he said.

Sawyer said, "It's also about showing the police that we care--we need transparency and accountability in the police department here in town--and around the country as well."
