MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - The City of Miami Gardens has launched a Black Lives Matter campaign.
In honor of George Floyd’s life, the city ordered flags to be flown at half-staff Tuesday as Floyd is laid to rest.
Also, all digital billboards along the Palmetto Expressway broadcasted a photo of the Miami Gardens Chiefs football team.
“The black lives that matter, it’s not just George Floyd, it’s those kids,” Miami Gardens Mayor Oliver Gilbert said. “It’s the young girl that wants to grow up to be a doctor. It’s the man who’s come across struggles. Black lives literally matter in every iteration.”
The 11 and 12 year olds shown represent the young black lives that need to be protected from injustice in order to be allowed to live out their dreams.
