Title
Protest against police brutality after the killing of Yong Xin Huang
Description
A person stands looking at the camera while holding a handwritten sign that reads “Police the police now!”. The sign also contains an illustration of a police officer holding a baton. Behind this person, other people hold a partially visible banner that reads "Justice for Yong Xin Huang."
Yong Xin Huang was a Chinese American 16-year-old who was shot and killed by police officer Steven Mizrahi on March 24, 1995, while Huang was playing in a friend’s backyard in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. With the support of CAAAV and NCPRR (National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights), Huang’s family organized mobilizations in demand of officer Mizrahi’s indictment and against police brutality during Rudy Giuliani’s administration as mayor of New York City.
