Protesters arrive at Churchill Downs on Derby Day
At least 300 people on the march down Central Ave
The group has walked up Racine Ave and is met by a closed gate
Walking around the track now. Lots of law enforcement agents looking out from inside the gates
Chant: “I don’t see a riot here so why are you in riot gear.”
Near the horse barns at Churchill Downs, protesters getting loud
NFAC kneeling in the center of the protest
Inside Churchill Downs, a moment of silence for “inequity.”
Outside, chants of #BreonnaTaylor
Two fences and a line of police are now preventing protesters from getting closer to the track
“The sun will go down. The Derby will go away. The decision will come out. Then what happens? I am excited, but I need people to keep going. I need this momentum to continue.” - Marian Vasser, executive director of diversity and equity at the University of Louisville
The Derby is over. People are still marching.
On the way back to South Central Park
