David Carter speaks to reporters prior to the march. Marchers lined up on Gervais Street begin the walk around the State House. Flanked by police officers, the march progresses around the State House. Among those shown on film is Reverend I. DeQuincey Newman. Final sequences show some of the protesters in the County jail.
