BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - More than 20,000 people including actor Chuck Norris marched the streets of Alabama to bring awareness and raise funds for persecuted Christians in the Middle East.
attendees marched chanting "All Lives Matter" from Kelly Ingram Park to Birmingham City Hall on Saturday morning. Other signs held during the march read "Justice" with a picture of Abraham Lincoln.
Conservative personality Glenn Beck co-organized the march with Bishop Jim Lowe. Both led the march with Alveda King, a niece of Martin Luther King Jr., in the front row and Norris trailed them from two rows behind.
The march was a part of Beck's "Never Again is Now" campaign for his initiative.

Americans marching for "All Lives Matter" is a sick joke given American history is littered with genocide and mass murder.

What I find interesting is that humans need to be reminded that all lives matter.
Seems that only white people can protest the state and have criminals that share the same skin color.

All Lives Matter is not my preferred banner for our unity, but if it truly takes off, I'll have no choice but to support it. The only hope we the people have is a united front to get the numbers we need to make a difference.
Not my favorite choice, but at least it's about unity.

The march was long and drawn out, thats all you have to refute this?
Those numbers werent reported by Beck , they were reported by the actual police department and city....
Again, I find the fact that people are more interested in trying to discredit what happened there this weekend, and the intent behind it to Unify, very sad and telling about who we have become as a country
Something great happens and the response is to try and destroy it rather raise up the effort.....

I wasn't trying to refute anything....how did you arrive at that conclusion?
And look at the vitriol already on this page for it
