SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Students and community members marched in Salt Lake City during a rally on Martin Luther King Jr. Day chanting, "This is what democracy looks like."
The Deseret News reports that Westminster College's annual march brought together students, families and members of the local chapter of the Black Lives Matter group.
