The spokeswoman said the effigies appear to be connected to a noon-time demonstration nearby planned to coincide with a national protest against police brutality dubbed #blacklivesmatters. The effigies appear to be life-size photos of lynching victims. Two depicted men and third was a photograph of a female victim. The effigies had names of lynching victims and the dates of their death. At least one effigy had I Cant Breathe printed on the front. Hamaoui said its unclear who hanged the effigies. ITS A SYMBOLIC STATEMENT ABOUT THE LEGACY OF RACISM AND INEQUALITY AND MURDER THAT STILL EXIST IN THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE LAID DOWN AND HUNG AROUND FOR FAR TO LONG.... (IT BETTER BE BY BLACKS OR BERKELEY IS GOING DOWN)
