Today marks the 100th anniversary of over 10k African Americans who organized a protest March along 5th Avenue in NYC, NY back in 1917, which has since become known as The Silent Parade.

The protest was in response to lynching's and murders of Black peoples and the first ever civil rights protest against violence toward Black people, during the height of the Jim Crow era, in America.

Google commemorated it today on their website and The Washington Post published an superbly written article feature, as well.
