CHICAGO (CBS) — Protesters turned out in force in Lakeview and Uptown Monday evening, and the group said it wanted to stress peace.
CBS 2 Investigator Dave Savini reported upwards of 500 people turned out for the march, which began at Belmont and Wilton avenues near the Belmont Avenue Red, Brown, and Purple Line stop.
Much of the group marched northwest on Lincoln Avenue from the DePaul area before stopping at Belmont and Wilton.
Lifelong Chicagoan Emma,25, said she wanted to stand up for the rights of others and make a difference.
“I feel like personally for me that as white person as an American, it’s my duty to stand up for my friends, my family, and my loved ones who are being tortured and discriminated against for the color of their skin,” Emma said.
