LinkNYC kiosks list names of slain African Americans

June 5, 2020

LinkNYC kiosks in New York City have been posting the names of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arberry, Eric Garner and other African Americans who have been killed recently, according to a tweet from #SayTheirNames.

One tweet said the names have been posted on all 1,780 Link kiosks beginning June 2 and will continue to do so in response to a tweet asking who hacked LinkNYC.

On Tuesday, LinkNYC ran its own #BlackOutTuesday, showing the names of African Americans murdered by police and by gun violence for 12 hours, according to an Adweek.com report.
