Larry Hamm 1of 3 to receive citations for marching in the street in Bridgeton, calls it #civilrights badge of honor

From protester Jamie Warner:
“...city council knew that those people were there to talk...and the police held them all up, putting them through metal detectors, which is almost never done for city council meetings. And they closed the meeting despite a demand by the public that it keep going longer. It was DISGRACEFUL. They spent time talking in the hallways. If they had that time to talk in the hallways they could have had a legit meeting in the courtroom.”

It was beautiful. Its only the beginning. We have to be strong. We have to be stead fast and unremovable. We must stand our ground hands up don't shoot united we stand divided we fall

"Where there is no unity there is no strength regardless of race we need to ourselves before we can help another country where were we served and protected no justice no peace." Felicia Corley
