Yesterday’s Black Lives Matter rally/demonstration featured a multi-racial contingent that marched through Downtown Syracuse (ironically along some streets with names straight outta the pages of American history, such as Franklin, Washington and Jefferson). Numerous residents and workers viewed the march from parking lots or office buildings above the city.
