More than one month after embarking on what he calls a march for "change, justice and equality," Terry Willis completed a 1,000-mile walk from his hometown of Huntsville, Ala., to the site of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on Sunday.
Willis, a 35-year-old business owner, said he feels obligated as a Black man and father to help create a better future for his son.
"I'm not here to judge anyone, I say do what you have to do to make sure your voice is heard," Willis wrote in a Facebook post announcing his plans. "In 1965 MLK marched to Selma for us to have the right to vote. In 2020 I Terry Willis will walk from Alabama to Minnesota for our right to be seen as equals."
Willis began his trek on June 2 at the Fade Factory Barbershop in Huntsville. He posted daily videos and updates on social media accounts, including his Facebook page, which has amassed more than 39,000 followers as of Sunday evening.
