Chanting “Black lives matter!” and shouting the names of African-Americans killed as a result of police brutality, demonstrators gathered at Malverne High School on June 10 to take part in a peaceful protest. More than 500 people from Malverne, Lakeview and Lynbrook marched north on Ocean Avenue and through parts of the village to promote unity.
“As we look throughout our country, we are witnessing the results of what happens when systemic racism continues,” said the Rev. Tristan Salley, of St. Paul AME Church in Lakeview. “Tonight we come not as Malverne or Lakeview residents, but as community members to continue to build a bridge over the ocean for a brighter today and a future of tomorrow.” Malverne Police Department officers, who helped
guide the march, shut down roads in the village to make way for the protesters. Some residents stood in their front yards, cheering. “I’m marching because I take a stand against inequality and racism,” said Maria Casini, vice president of the Malverne Chamber of Commerce. “It really is time for equal rights and justice for all.” Lakeview NAACP PresiContinued on page 5
