Killing Taxi Drivers - Available
on DVD
Taxi
driving is an important niche occupation for many African immigrants in
Philadelphia. It is also a dangerous job. On July 31, 2001, a Senegalese
driver was murdered during a robbery. The tragic event galvanized not
only the Senegalese community but also his fellow drivers. The Philadelphia
Taxi Association organized a demonstration in August 2, 2001 attended
by more than 1,000 drivers from many countries. Fellow African immigrant
drivers express their sadness, frustrations and appeal to the City of
Philadelphia for protection.
