Most would agree it's needed here, as many people are demanding for change.
"Everybody is waking up," Dallas said. "People are tired and want to get justice, we can't allow this to be happening."
These Black Lives Matter protests have been happening for two weeks now, and many say they're different than what they've seen in the past, with all races and colors coming out to be a part of this movement.
One voice at a time, one step at a time to get the shift that is so desired.
