Atlanta Marchers Practice King’s Strategy Of Peaceful Protest

People gather Saturday at the King Center after a march by anti-racism demonstrators that started in Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta. Protests took place across the U.S. to denounce white supremacists after a fatal car attack last week in Virginia.

A diverse crowd of several hundred people marched from downtown Atlanta to the home of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in protest of white supremacists and other hate groups surfacing across America.

Organizers urged marchers on Saturday to practice King’s values and make sure there was no violence.

A woman was killed and 19 others injured in Charlottesville, Virginia, last week after a car plowed into counterdemonstrators at a white nationalist rally.
