Chants, hollers, clenched fists and signs took over the space at Gore Park on Saturday as Black Lives Matter demonstrators congregated to protest.

The rally at 1 p.m. saw more than 100 people assemble to call for an end to anti-black racism and partially defunding the local police budget.

The group eventually joined another large group of demonstrators at city hall.

Here are some of the images from Gore Park:
