KERA intern Javier Giribet was at the scene of the march through downtown Dallas, talking with demonstrators, when the shootings happened. He recorded his thoughts afterward and sent them along.
Around 7 pm Thursday night (July 7), nearly 1,000 people showed up to Belo Garden Park in downtown Dallas. They were part of a protest organized by Black Lives Matters Dallas, to protest the recent fatal police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota. The people that showed up rallied and then marched heading down on Commerce Street.
