In response to the march, Mayor Barry released the following statement, “I appreciate and respect the right of Nashvillians to voice their opinion through peaceful protest.  I am glad to see that everyone remained safe and I appreciate the MNPD doing their part to ensure that happened.” (photos: Marcus Jones)
