The protest started about two hours earlier, with approximately 100 people gathered in Pioneer Park in downtown Salt Lake City. There, organizer John Sullivan with Insurgence News urged those who know racism is wrong and that inequities exist in society to put their words into actions. Sullivan told the crowd that he was adopted by white parents and saw firsthand how people treated him differently than they treated his parents. “I would walk into a store and people would follow me, thinking I was stealing stuff,” Sullivan said.
