Police use tear gas to redirect protesters, warn drivers about people marching in Dayton streets
A Village of Yellow Springs Facebook post after the Saturday event said: “What a wonderful sight to see the unity of our village surrounding the sentiment of justice and equality and seeing the signs of support to speak out. This peaceful protest all along the street was incredible. We are YS Strong! Continue to encourage, engage and empower each other. Your voices matter and are necessary.”
The village posted photos of many participants.
Signs included “black lives matter,” and “silence is complicity.”
Many of the protesters wore face masks and practiced social distancing because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The event stretched several blocks and included music and speakers in some areas.
