| Subject: Cool: Black Lives Matter Chicago leader says 20-year-old son was one of 2 arrested Sun Apr 18, 2021 12:33 am | |
| The son of Black Lives Matter Chicago’s executive director was one of two people arrested after a peaceful march Friday night in Logan Square, his mother said the day after the skirmish between officers and protesters following the video release of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, who was shot to death by Chicago police last month.
Amika Tendaji, executive director of the Chicago chapter of BLM, said she and her son Anthony McCollum III, 20, were preparing to leave just before 10 p.m. at Kedzie and Milwaukee avenues when Tendaji said she saw what she described as a familiar sight from last summer’s protests sparked by the death of George Floyd.
“After the organizers called for a dispersal and everyone to leave, as it usually happens, police then began becoming aggressive, and they were pushing and hitting people with batons,” Tendaji said in a phone interview on Saturday.
