Local NAACP plans Monday afternoon rally in Marshall Park
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg chapter of the NAACP is planning a Moral Monday rally in Marshall Park Monday afternoon.
The rally is set for 5:30 p.m. at the Charlotte park on East Third Street, according to the group’s Facebook page. The theme of the rally is: “Black Lives Matter.”
That theme has been cited in numerous rallies around the nation following the death of black men at the hands of police officers, including in Baltimore recently.
Moral Mondays began as protests two years ago in Raleigh by people upset over the actions of the Republican-controlled legislature.
