Boot Camp Trial

Protesters Won’t Move


Tensions are escalating at the scene of the protest.

About 150 students and other protesters are still sitting in the street, blocking traffic in the area surrounding the old Capitol building.

Police and a group of officials, including FAMU President James Ammons, Tallahassee Mayor John Marks, Sen. Frederica Wilson and Benjamin Crump, a lawyer representing Martin Lee Anderson’s family, have tried to convince the protesters to get out of the street and continue their demonstration in a nearby courtyard, but the protesters aren’t budging.
