These Aztec Dancers Joined a Black Lives Matter Protest in Minnesota

On Saturday, Black Lives Matter St. Paul and the Minneapolis NAACP held the Rally & Solidarity March for #PhilandoCastile & Others.

At a time when racist policing has taken center stage, solidarity with the black community, as well as the Black Lives Matter movement, is vital. Over the weekend, this is exactly what happened in Minneapolis, and dancers from the Kalpulli Yaocenoxtli group were right along them every step of the way – behavior that’s not uncommon for these dancers. In California, for example, danzantes have come out to support gay rights and partnered with the Korean Immigrant Worker Assn. They’ve also denounced police brutality and Christopher Columbus. Danza Mexica Cuahtemoc leader Judith Cuahtemoc told the Los Angeles Times that Aztecs side with underdogs. And that’s exactly what the Minnesota group did this weekend.
