Organizers said they were encouraged by the great turnout.
“That says that we are getting the message out and clear, and that people are listening,” Doris Reed, with the Charlotte section of the National Council of Negro Women, said. “People are hearing and they know the need. So, the good turnout means that we are helping our community and we want to continue to do it.”
