Protesters unite in Newark on anniversary of King’s death
Photo by Chris Sykes Newark resident Earl Best observed the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. by staging a right-to-work protest outside the old Newark Public Schools building on Cedar Street in downtown Newark on Wednesday, April 4. Best and others were protesting their observation that the owners of the private company that purchased the building from its former owners have not hired eligible workers from the city to do any of the menial labor being done by construction contractors hired to renovate it.
