About a thousand people attended a rally last Wednesday in Kellogg Park in downtown Plymouth. Participants in the two-hour event Wednesday walked around downtown several times and eventually blocked northbound Main Street for a short period without incident. A second rally from noon until 6 p.m. on Sunday drew about the same number of predominantly young individuals to the park who chanted anddisplayed signs protesting the inequitable treatment of African Americans. The protest participants were loud, but orderly, and police reported no incidents requiring response during either of the demonstrations. Photos by Dave Willett
