The possible U.S. strike on Syria prompted a variety of Raleigh residents to join other cities nationwide in protest.
Protesters gathered Saturday on the corner of Glenwood Avenue and Peace Street in Raleigh. Participants included Cy King, 90, who is considered the godfather of nonviolence in the city of Raleigh. King, a long time opponent of war and violence, has been honored with the medal from the Raleigh Hall of Fame.
