Organized by 16-year-old, Norman protest peaceful

NORMAN — Wearing a long-sleeve black shirt and black pants, Lirey Munoz was burning up walking down Main Street on Tuesday afternoon.

“If you’re uncomfortable, think about how black people feel every day,” Munoz roared into a megaphone as she led a march from the Interstate 35 overpass on Main Street to the Norman Police Department.

The protest was the latest organized around the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer on May 25.

While there have been plenty of young people at rallies, the crowd at Tuesday’s in Norman skewed particularly young.
