365 DAYS OF MARCHING - THE AMADOU DIALLO STORY

The streets of New York City have certainly witnessed its share of
acts of civil disobedience, violence and rebellion. Dating back as far
as the Draft Riots of 1863, very often, the disenfranchised would take
to the streets when opposing the government's unfair policies and
practices. Eight years ago when an unarmed African immigrant by the
name of Amadou Diallo was shot at 41 times (hit 19 times) by 4 New
York City Police Officers, the people took to the streets charging the
NYPD with police brutality. Over the next two years that followed, a
series of marches and protests was set into motion that would forever
change the lives of New Yorkers. At its conceptual root, spearheaded
by Rev Al Sharpton and the National Action Network, was the march for
justice for Diallo. However, in the midst of the struggles a new breed
of protestor began to emerge. Along the side of the activist stood
politicians, students and professors, unions and laborers. The shout
of "No Justice - No Peace!" What do we want? JUSTICE!" Now became
"What do we want??BOOKS! HOUSING! JOBS! Diallo's death became a
symbol for justice on all fronts. 360 Media recounts this bitter and
yet compelling part of New York City history in the upcoming
documentary entitled "365 Days of Marching" The Amadou Diallo Story
