Protesting racism wasn't criminalized. The issue was that the legal means to protest racism weren't very effective. So, people intentionally broke certain laws to draw attention to the struggle. The overreaction by the police to those laws being broken drew attention and gained sympathy for the protesters.

    It should be "resisting" or something. "Protesting" is more specific.
