PHILADELPHIA - Educator Christopher Bowman co-founded the "I Will Breathe" movement in Philly that was born out of last year's Black Lives Matter demonstrations."It became a matter of what will I tell my kids one day?
Like, did I just stand by and watch or did I push for change? And I just couldn’t look myself in the mirror and stay in my room," said Christopher Bowman.
Protests all over the city last summer drew hundreds of people. Including 27-year-old Bowman. "It was passion there and everyone was there for a unified reason or a purpose," he said.
But Bowman quickly learned during a peaceful protest along Broad Street last June that even in this day there is still resistance to equality and justice.
