Protestors from OneFargo, Black Lives Matter and others marched in a demonstration Saturday, Aug. 29, in Fargo, amidst nationwide protests in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisc.

The march started at 10 a.m. at Island Park — nicknamed “Justice Island” by OneFargo organizers. After handing out flags that were flown above an interstate bridge before Cass County Sheriff's deputies ordered them down, protesters circled through downtown Fargo. The march ended about three hours later.
