A demonstration march and rally has been planned for Friday afternoon in downtown Dalton and officers from the Dalton Police Department have been in contact with organizers as they planned the event. Dalton officers will be present to escort the march from its planned starting point at Harmon Field to the Whitfield County Courthouse and the Dalton Green.
The march is being scheduled to begin at approximately 4 p.m. on Friday at Dalton’s Harmon Field football stadium.
From there, marchers will be escorted east on Crawford Street and across Thornton Avenue to the Courthouse. The demonstration and rally will then move to the pavilion area at the Dalton Green and is expected to last into the evening hours. Traffic in the Thornton Avenue area is only expected to be affected briefly by the march.
