New York, New York: 1917: A silent march to protest the police’s treatment of blacks during riots in East St. Louis. They marched down Fifth Avenue on that summer Saturday without saying a word. They chanted no chants, sang no protest songs. The only sounds were the disconcertingly mournful thuds of muffled drums — and, of course, the marchers’ footsteps on the hot pavement. It was a “parade of silent protest".
