June 5th and 6th saw massive demonstrations around the world in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Hamburg was no exception, and over a thousand people gathered peacefully in front of the US Consulate on Friday the 5th, and more than 15,000 in front of the Parliament the following afternoon.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, mass unemployment and the trying times that followed, it was truly inspiring to see people young and old, from all over the political spectrum, immigrants and German-born, all speaking in one voice to take a stand for justice, equality and positive change. My faith in mankind is temporarily restored.
