A group of approximately 60 people marched through Durham’s Streets At Southpoint Mall yesterday chanting “Black lives matter,” according to WTVD. Eventually, the group staged a die-in at Nordstrom.
Later, the protesters blocked Fayetteville Road between Herndon Road and Renaissance Parkway for approximately 40 minutes, according to WTVD. Nine protestors were arrested. In addition, a tractor trailer driver who allegedly attempted to drive through the group of protestors was arrested.
WTVD video about this story starts at the :30 mark.
In response to national outrage over Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and other victims, Spectacular Magazine is sponsoring buses to the National March Against Police Violence this Saturday in Washinton, D.C. We spoke to Phyllis Coley from Spectacular Magazine about the event.
