Pro-Palestinian contingent preaches black liberation at #FergusonOctober

As its name would imply, #FergusonOctober was planned as a protest of the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and police violence in general. Brown certainly wasn’t forgotten at Saturday afternoon’s rally, but the organizers happily yielded the stage to a number of pro-Palestinian activists.

Super diverse, although pro-Israel groups were nowhere to be found.

It's almost as if people who suffer under violent racism SOMEHOW develop a sense of kinship with one another. #FergusonOctober #Palestine
