The march began at 10 a.m. at South Front and Ludlow streets. The goal of the march was “to show solidarity, as well as to further the effort to bring about the attention of the inequality that happens in America, across the board — socially, economically, educationally,” said the Rev. Victor Davis, one of the organizers.
