LIVE: Marching Down Fayetteville Street toward the State Capitol Building. HKonJ (Historic Thousands on Jones Street) was a gathering of several thousand people and sponsoring organizations in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina to tack a new legislative agenda on the People's House, the NC General Assembly on Jones Street. The NC-NAACP acted as host organization and the Reverend Dr. William J. Barber, II gave the keynote address at the Town Hall Meeting prior to kicking off the march to Jones Street. The crowd marched in near silence. More info at www.hkonj.com
The news media has been saying that only 2000 people attended the march and teach-in that was HKonJ this video proves them wrong and shows the number was well beyond the reported figures. I guess they continue to count African Americans as 3/5 persons
