Anti-racism group plans alternative event to counter white pride rally

A group that has urged people to stay away from a planned white pride rally Saturday morning at Duluth’s Civic Center is offering an alternative.

The group plans to hold a unity rally at the Aerial Lift Bridge at 10 a.m. Saturday.

“We are looking at this as an opportunity for people to recommit, as a community, to work on racial justice and to grow together as a stronger community,” said Joel Kilgour of the Loaves and Fishes Community, which provides shelter for homeless people. “There will be hundreds of people there. We are going to take a big group picture in front of the Lift Bridge.”
