The march has just left while a bunch of people stay behind at MDP Circle. The march is currently heading east on West Broad street.

Not a big crowd, but they managed to take all of the street's eastbound traffic lanes. The protesters just let a GRTC Pulse bus thru. Seems like it would be easy for traffic to get around by taking either Grace, Marshall, or Franklin.

A speaker with a megaphone exclaims the demands which are the same ones from the past. The protesters move on but the man on the second floor said something to make the person with the megaphone say to ignore him.

Not sure but it sounded like "I'm blacker than you." The person with the megaphone was a black woman.

I haven't seen any police during this march which is nearing its end. I think they would stationed up at the Grace Street headquarters, but I haven't even seen a single car drive by.
