Abstract:

25-year-old Raynisha Caldwell decided to organize a peaceful protest march in her home town of Mooresville, and was met with a viral internet backlash of complaints, warnings and even death threats. When she arrived at the police department that was overwhelmed with calls from concerned citizens against the march, she was surprised by the level of support that was offered. With roughly 200 people of various races participating alongside the Mooresville police department and Iredell County Sheriff's Office, the march happened peacefully.
