But this might be the most powerful video I’ve captured of the protests so far. Here’s a snippet:

He walked almost 5 miles to be there.

He video called me this morning to tell me about it. At one pt he said they all took a knee. He was still tired this morning but elated about his participation in the march.

Thanks for posting video! My son promised to send pics but they've not appeared yet.
