Posted: Jul 3, 2020 / 05:48 PM EDTUpdated: Jul 4, 2020 / 01:37 PM EDTTAMPA, Fla. (WFLA)- As the country prepares to celebrate&nbsp;its&nbsp;independence,&nbsp;there&nbsp;are some that won’t acknowledge the&nbsp;holiday,&nbsp;including&nbsp;Yourhighness&nbsp;Tafari,&nbsp;the co-owner of Tampa restaurant&nbsp;.&nbsp;“This is something that publicly stands as a holiday of freedom, independence. But as black people we honestly never truly really felt free,” said&nbsp;Tafari.&nbsp;Across the country,&nbsp;protests boycotting&nbsp;the&nbsp;Fourth&nbsp;of July will take place.&nbsp;Tafari&nbsp;along with other&nbsp;local vegan restaurants&nbsp;have&nbsp;organized&nbsp;the #BoycottThe4th&nbsp;protest&nbsp;for the Tampa Bay area.&nbsp;“It represents a statement to the country and the entire world&nbsp;really, to&nbsp;show that we don’t feel free. We’ve seen what’s going on, we need help.&nbsp;If you’re willing to stand with us, like you’re publicly saying you are, come out support us. Make a statement to the world for your brothers and sisters to say, ‘hey, if they’re not free, I’m not free.’ That’s the whole essence of the campaign,” Tafari said.&nbsp;Just last month,&nbsp;Tafari&nbsp;appeared before&nbsp;Tampa&nbsp;City&nbsp;Council to discuss the importance of creating an&nbsp;open&nbsp;forum&nbsp;about race relations in the&nbsp;Tampa Bay&nbsp;area.&nbsp;He&nbsp;now&nbsp;hopes his&nbsp;“Boycott the 4th”&nbsp;protest will be the&nbsp;catalyst&nbsp;for&nbsp;meaningful dialog.&nbsp;“People have to be&nbsp;honest,&nbsp;we&nbsp;have to create a safe space for people to decide they can share their&nbsp;shame, their guilt and&nbsp;for us to&nbsp;really get into our pain and sorrow,” he said. “Let people start to learn and raise the awareness. That’s the only way they’re going to know what to do better than just reading books.&nbsp;Hear from the people that’s going through it. Let us be honest with you, you be honest with us&nbsp;on what you think about us how you get to these thoughts. Maybe we can start to discover some of the motivations behind your behaviors.”&nbsp;The “Boycott the 4th” protest will&nbsp;be held on Saturday, July 4, at the&nbsp;intersection of S. Tampa Street&nbsp;and&nbsp;E.&nbsp;Brorein&nbsp;Street.&nbsp;For more information, visit the event’s .&nbsp;Thanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe NowThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Nowno iframe support!✕× Close Ad
