Thousands of marchers stormed the Georgia Capitol on
Saturday to protest the state's new immigration law, which
they say creates an unwelcome environment for people of
color and those in search of a better life.
Men, women and children of all ages converged on
downtown Atlanta for the march and rally, cheering
speakers while shading themselves with umbrellas and
posters from the blazing summer sun.
Capitol police and organizers estimated that between
8,000 and 14,000 protesters gathered.
