These protests have been carried out in Eugene, Oregan since two moths to attract and spread awareness among people. Racism has been deeply rooted. Even if we do not actively support racism we do passively practice it unknowingly. There are groups in Eugene actively fighting against this undercover racism. The University of Oregon’s Black Student Task Force is one of those. It is the local chapter of the NAACP and the city’s Human Rights Commission. But because covert racism is not as visible or detectable as overt racism, it tends to get overlooked and discounted by those who aren’t directly affected by it.

Since the Police brutality incident which shook the world, there have been a number of protests to support black people. The Black Unity has carried out various protests and reported that they will follow the same streak in the future as well. Its time people start recognizing this and act accordingly.
