About 800 protesters, preceded by a throng of police officers and journalists, began their trek from Charlotte's Frazier Park toward the downtown financial district on Sunday during their March on Wall Street South.
The marchers who showed up for Sunday's March on Wall Street South through the heart of Charlotte's banking district in no way came close to matching the thousands that organizers had anticipated, but the 800 who did show up were a colorful bunch representing diverse political interests.
There were people wearing Fidel Castro shirts; others carried banners in support of undocumented immigrants, waved flags for Palestinian rights or yelled pro-union chants over a steady drum beat. Some even marched in support of saving post offices.
