 What was originally planned as a protest was built as a victory rally in Baltimore today after felony charges were filed Friday against six officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray. The 25-year-old black man died last month after his arrest. Thousands have turned out in a peaceful demonstration 1 as leaders urged the city to remain calm. Maryland’s state Senator Catherine Pugh told the crowd “by no means do we condone 2 violence in this city; no means but peaceful demonstration helps us to get the point across.” Chris Connelly of member station WYPR tells us today’s rally points to a new tone in the city. 

I think today’s rally, I mean it’s largely a celebration, but it also seems to me that the speakers really focus on what happens next, how do we keep momentum 3 up and keep moving forward and turn what was essentially 4, you know, a reaction after one event into a movement to make change in Baltimore.
