"Sharpton told the AP that Saturday’s observances are aimed to highlight key civil rights issues dominating the national conversation, including New York’s controversial “stop-and-frisk” policing tactics, which critics have characterized as racial profiling, and Florida’s "Stand Your Ground" self-defense statute.

Those issues along with unemployment, health care and education are what will bring Yvette Young to the march. The 52-year-old Virginia resident and vice president at the Urban League of Hampton Roads hopes her daughter, 14, will have a better life than she did.

"My life hasn't been so bad, but I grew up in the 60s," Young said, adding that she had to witness a lot of discrimination. "I hope for a much better road for her," she added.

Saturday’s march and rally come two months after the Supreme Court struck down a key anti-discrimination provision of 1965’s landmark Voting Rights Act, triggering a wave of new voting laws and rules in several states and prompting a chorus of criticism from prominent African-American leaders.
