The rain that rolled through downtown Atlanta on Monday evening did nothing to dampen the spirits of the marchers who gathered at the CNN Center in memory of Missouri teen Michael Brown, who was killed by a police officer.

Even as the first drops fell, the more than 1,000 marchers continued down Marietta Street, some chanting, “No justice, no peace,” while others proclaimed, “I am Mike Brown.”

By the time many of the marchers neared the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, they were in the middle of a full-on deluge, but they continued to march and chant.

“When it started raining and lightning and the crowd didn’t disperse, my energy level shot up,” said Kwame Thompson, an attorney in Atlanta and St. Louis. “It was a peaceful demonstration that was against police brutality and in support of Mike Brown and his family.”
