The large group of demonstrators that gathered at UVA Saturday evening were a part of the “Reclaim the Rotunda” and “Rally for Justice” rally led by UVA students.
The original plan was for demonstrators to go to the Rotunda, but the high security checkpoints with metal detectors limited the number of people who entered, and the group ended up meeting at Brooks Hall instead.
The large group of several hundred then walked to Lambeth Field where they unveiled large signs and sang as a group.
There are plans for more protests Sunday.
