‘Prayerful protest’ in downtown Brooklyn, N.Y., saw several thousand people

A ‘prayerful protest’ in downtown Brooklyn, N.Y., saw several thousand people from more than 80 New York City churches gather on June 2 to march peacefully for the cause of justice.

Organized by The Bridge Church, a 6-year-old ethnically diverse SBC congregation, and led by James T. Roberson III (above), church planter and pastor of The Bridge Church, the march was held in response to the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police.
