Barricades erected at State Capitol; protesters march through downtown Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Metal fencing now surrounds the State Capitol and many of the Confederate monuments that protesters and others are pushing to have removed.

The crowd marched from the Capitol to Nash Square outside Raleigh police headquarters and then back to the Capitol.
