Protest slows U.S. 280 traffic.

Despite a press release stating that planned “Black Lives Matter” protests on U.S. 280 and at the Riverchase Galleria were canceled Friday, about 100 people participated in the demonstration. near the Summit.. Protesters waved signs from the grassy area near the Summit entrance, and remained peaceful, as planned.

. Traffic on U.S. 280 was flowing well at 3:45 p.m., but protestors began attempting to enter roadways at around 4:20 p.m. While police blocked some lanes of traffic, protesters marched along the side of 280 westbound to the Chevron near the Summit. They congregated there before returning along 280 eastbound and crossing the highway to the Summit entrance.

By 5 p.m., traffic was moving normally.

Christian Wynn of Birmingham. was at the protest. with her boyfriend.

“What I hope to do, actually, is to get more people involved because I feel like that the more people we have, the bigger chance we have to make a difference, Wynn said.

“I know a lot of these people are just kind of going on with their daily lives, just trying to get home or trying to get to work, but I really think that if they take the chance, take the time to look into what’s happening on the news and everything, that they will want to join in and. get some stuff done.”.

A second protest.

At the same time protesters took to the Summit, dozens more, clad mostly in black, also filled the food court area of the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover for about 10 minutes, chanting, marching and laying on the ground in a “die-in.”

The mall seemed to be business as usual until about 4:30 p.m., when people began marching around the holiday decorations in the center of the food court, chanting “No Justice, No Peace,” and “I Can’t Breathe,” the last words of Eric Garner, who was killed by a police officer in New York.

Protesters briefly lay on the ground for the “die-in.”

Becky Brinkerhoff, 20, said the protest was the second one she’s been to. She’s from the Birmingham area but attends Emerson College in Boston. There, she said, she went to a couple of large protests. In one, students at Emerson staged a walk-out of their classes.

“When I saw that something was happening, I was just glad that something was happening at all,” she said.

“While the turnout may not have been big, the pressure not to come was way more. here than in Boston.”.
