Community rallies to support Virginia Beach family taunted by 'racist stuff' blaring next door
Activists rallied Saturday morning in Virginia Beach to support a Black family taunted by its next-door neighbor with offensive loud noises and other “racist stuff” since 2017.
The peaceful march, organized by Russell Tee who lives outside of Richmond, was a show of community solidarity in the sleepy Salem Lakes neighborhood the Martinez family has called home for nearly five years.
The march drew a couple dozen neighbors and family friends who gathered at 10 a.m. at a Food Lion less than a mile from the Martinez’s home. The group walked — joined by members of Black Lives Matter 757 — and held flags with the BLM757 logo and other signs. They chanted “Racists will not be tolerated,” and “Black Lives Matter.”
“The power is always with the people. We the people, we show up. This is not violence,” said Tee, 38, who made a 2 ½-hour drive to Virginia Beach to lead the rally. “This is peace, love and harmony as a community. Love has to conquer hate.”
