ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Atlantic City is attempting to co-opt plans by protesters to paint “Black Lives Matter” on the seaside gambling resort's famous Boardwalk by doing the same thing in a place of its own choosing — on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, in front of its civil rights memorial.
“We believe there’s a better way to handle it,” Small said. “Painting on the Boardwalk is prohibited.” Reached after the mayor's speech, Young said in an interview that Friday's rally will go on as scheduled and will include a brother of George Floyd, a Black man whose death at the hands of Minneapolis police inspired worldwide protests.“We want to keep things peaceful,” he said. “We do not want to be confrontational.”
