Protesters gathered in Hoover Park at 2 p.m. to hear black community members give speeches, in which they shared their personal experiences and urged everyone to continue fighting together against racism. The march moved to gather in front of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office on De Anza Boulevard before heading back to the park at 5 p.m.
