Protesters rally at SC State House Sunday night
COLUMBIA, SC -- Hundreds of Black Lives Matter protesters marched through downtown Columbia and to the S.C. State House Sunday night, protesting last week’s police shooting deaths of two African-American men in Louisiana and Minnesota.
“I just came to support,” said Zariyah Williams, 18, who was at the State House. “I’m tired of what’s going on.”
State Rep. Todd Rutherford, D-Richland said he was driving earlier Sunday night when he saw I-126 was shut down at the Huger Street and Elmwood Avenue split. He said the roads appeared to be shut down by police to make sure no one got hurt during protests. They were reopened later.
Rutherford said he parked and joined the protest.
