Crowds march up Church Street towards Romare Bearden Park during Saturday's Women's March on Charlotte, which drew at least 10,000 people according to CMPD. The mile-long march was scheduled to coincide with a national demonstration Saturday, Jan. 21, 2017, in Washington, D.C., the day after Donald Trump's inauguration as president. The march started at First Ward Park, traveled down Tryon Street to 4th St. to Church St. and ended at Romare Bearden Park. "The Women's March on Charlotte is a first step in uniting our communities and in empowering grassroots change," march organizers say on the march's website. "We will work peacefully to send a bold message to our elected leaders that women's rights are human rights." (Diedra Laird/The Charlotte Observer via AP)
