Dozens of demonstrators gathered in Liverpool City Centre today in a Black Lives Matter protest.
The socially-distanced demonstration attracted crowds outside of the Anglican Cathedral.
Organised by Merseyside BLM, people gathered to "stand together" following two incidents of violence in Liverpool
Ahead of the demonstration, Merseyside BLM leader, Chanelle Lunt, wrote: "Join us as we stand together to oppose racism in Liverpool and to denounce the horrific attacks which have taken place over the last month in the city centre".
Chantelle called for attendees to wear masks and to social distance from one another.
Pictures from the event showed roughly 150 people demonstrating, as flags and signs were brought along.
One sign said: "We stand together".
The event was the latest Black Lives Matter demonstration to take place in the city centre, after previous peaceful protests took place at the Pier Head and St George's Hall earlier in the year.
Chantelle previously spoke to the ECHO about her inspiration to organise today's demonstration.
In September Marvin Tamale, a young man from Manchester had been out enjoying an afternoon in Liverpool city centre when he was set upon by a group of men who stamped on his face while shouting racist abuse on Bold Street.
So traumatised by the incident, which left him with injuries to his head and face, and fearing bumping into his attackers again, Marvin travelled all the way back to Manchester for hospital treatment.
No arrests have been made, with his attackers still at large.
She said: "We have to show we are different from them, better than the rest and we won't stand for it in Merseyside. Marvin is not a Scouser but a visitor to our city, and we need to show that Liverpool actively rejects racism."
At the end of September, another horrific attack took place just a few streets away when a group of thugs attacked a young Liverpool man with a machete, slashing him several times in the legs while shouting racist abuse on Upper Duke Street.
Merseyside Police put out an appeal for information at the time and a spokesperson said: "The victim was slashed by what is believed to have been a machete. He was taken to hospital for stitches to superficial wounds to his legs. Racial abuse was also directed towards the victim."
A fundraiser appeal has been set up by Merseyside BLM Alliance to provide support for the victim of the machete attack and Chantelle says she is keen to remind people of both police appeals and for those who may have seen anything in relation to either attack to come forward and tell the police.
