LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles' Oaxacan community gathered under cloudy skies for a march for justice Saturday afternoon, following revelations over a leaked audio recording in which some City Council members disparaged Black and Indigenous people, among others, in starkly racist terms.
Carrying signs that proclaimed "Proud Oaxaqueña" and "Fuera Racistas," hundreds of demonstrators gathered at noon on Grand Avenue in front of Los Angeles Trade-Tech Community College near downtown. Many attendees dressed in traditional Oaxacan outfits, and some brought their children and grandchildren.
They called for all of the city officials involved in the audio leak scandal to resign.
