OAKLAND — Several hundred people peacefully marched through downtown Oakland on Monday afternoon to mark the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

The rally began at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza in front of Oakland City Hall at 11 a.m., and culminated in a march that circled the downtown and uptown area. Officials estimated about 1,000 people attended the event.

Several different groups were on hand, carrying signs inscribed with messages from Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as “Black Lives Matter,” and other messages decrying police violence. Many people bore messages of support for the Muslim community, and chanted slogans opposing the agenda of president-elect Donald Trump.

Police closed off several blocks on Telegraph Avenue and Broadway during the march, which wound its way to Lake Merritt by 2 p.m.
