"It's solemn," said Del. Shelly Hettleman of Baltimore County, who joined the West Baltimore marchers on a clear, unseasonably cool morning. "I mean, it's shocking when you're standing in the area where you know someone lost their life. You look around, and there are some boarded-up houses, but then in another house there are men and women sitting on the stoop and you realize this is their neighborhood and their community. And it's really important for them to know that outside of their immediate community that people are focused and care a lot about what happens here."
