After marching 750 miles from Milwaukee to Washington D.C., local activist and protest leader Frank Nitty made a passionate demand for change. “We’re not going to have our kids marching. This is it. We’ve been marching for the same stuff for 60 years. Black people shouldn’t be marching for the same stuff Martin Luther King was marching for. I’m tired. I’m tired. And I’m tried of asking for justice. I just want it to stop," Nitty said. #MarchOnWashington #Poltics #WWETV #WorldWideEntertainmentTV
