HIGH POINT, N.C. — The crowd stretched for more than a mile. Thousands of people from several races marched together for equality.
“It inspired a feeling of hope that we can overcome these tragedies,” High Point Councilman Michael Holmes said.
The councilman and several other elected officials including Mayor Jay Wagner took part in Sunday's march and rally. High Point Police Chief Kenneth Shultz walked toward the front of the crowd alongside organizer Pastor Orrick Quick.
At the end of the march, the police chief played a recording of every High Point police officer denouncing police brutality - a banner was then shown to the crowd with all the officer’s signatures.
