LEAVENWORTH — A peaceful march in Leavenworth Friday, which was part of the national Black Lives Matter protests, turned into a much bigger event than was planned.
Local residents who put on the “March in Solidarity” expected 300 to 400 people to show, said Kenzie Converse, one of the event organizers. Instead about 1,300 people arrived, carrying signs and chanting their support. About 2,000 people live in Leavenworth.
