President Donald Trump, who got 8% of the black vote in 2016, came to Atlanta on Friday in an attempt to rally support from that demographic for his 2020 re-election effort.

Outside the Georgia World Congress Center, hundreds of protesters carried signs and chanted “impeach and remove.” They marched down Marietta Street and past the building where Trump was holding a rally, chanting, “Whose streets? Our streets.”
