Sharpton plans Fifth Avenue ma
Civil rights activist Al Sharpton and other community leaders planned a silent march down Fifth Avenue Saturday to protest the police shooting that killed an unarmed man and wounded two friends on his wedding day.
Marchers will congregate at 59th Street at noon and walk south, said Sharpton said at a news conference Friday. He called the event a moral appeal to change city police practices.
“Many will be shopping for trinkets and toys. We will be shopping for justice,” Sharpton said. “The fact that we are going on probably the most visible street in the world tomorrow, you don’t have to talk to be heard. You just got to show up.”
He wouldn’t say how many people were expected to attend, but compared the march to nonviolent protests led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Other participants who planned to march included the fiancee of the slain man, Sean Bell, and Abner Louima, the Haitian immigrant who was sodomized in a bathroom by city police nine years ago, plus one of Bell’s friends who was wounded in the Nov. 25 shooting.
Officers fired 50 times at Bell’s car as he tried to leave a Queens strip club hours before he was to be married, killing 23-year-old Bell and wounding his two companions. One of the companions, Trent Benefield, would attend the march in a wheelchair, Sharpton said.
Sharpton and others say police used excessive force; police say Bell’s car struck an officer and they believed at least one of the men was armed.
