A weekend of anger over the police murder of Sonya Massey in Illinois culminated on Sunday with a tearful vigil in Greenwich Village.
The demonstration was part of what organizers called a “National Day of Mourning” for Massey, who was shot and killed by an Illinois sheriff’s deputy in her own kitchen on July 6. Some 30 cities across the country joined in vigils and rallies in somber remembrance of the 36-year-old; New Yorkers joined that rallying call in Washington Square Park on Sunday afternoon by demanding justice for Massey and condemning police brutality.
