Thousands of people took to the streets of Tokyo on Sunday for a Black Lives Matter march, marking the first such demonstration in Japan. Many held signs with slogans like, “Racism is a Pandemic” and “No Justice No Peace.” Marchers called for an end to global racial discrimination. “It is not enough to just send our prayers,” a 22-year-old protester named Shu Fukui told Reuters. “We need to change society, not only for George Floyd, but also for those who died in the past.”
