Black Lives Matter March Along Longwood Drive, Western Avenue

CHICAGO — A few hundred Black Lives Matter supporters gathered at Barnard Park at 105th and Longwood in Beverly Sunday afternoon before marching along Longwood Drive, to Western Avenue and on other streets in the 19th Ward neighborhoods on Beverly, Mount Greenwood and Morgan Park.

A flyer shared online showed four messages the group marching promotes: "Take CPD out of CPS," "Defund police," "Hold officers accountable" and "Free our protestors."

A number of the chants made by the group were of an anti-police nature. Police officers were scattered along Longwood, but more were on Western Avenue at the time as the rally reached that thoroughfare later in the day.

A separate protest, titled "I Have a Black Son," took shape earlier in the afternoon in the area near 112th and Western.

Here's video of some of the protest held along Longwood Drive in the late afternoon.

After progressing through the Beverly neighborhood east of Western, the march made it to the border of Beverly and Evergreen Park. Lorraine Swanson was on Western during that part.

Eventually, the marchers reached 111th and Western.
