Brittany Bailey, the organizer of the protest, along with Devin Pandy, a candidate running for the 9th Congressional district seat, made speeches on the dangers of “covert” racism. Afterward, the protesters spent eight minutes holding signs in front of the salon. Bailey said she chose the number eight because of its biblical association with new beginnings.
