Lansing, May 9 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Michigan, three African Americans carrying large rifles escorted state Representative Sarah Anthony, who’s also African American, into the state Capitol in Lansing.
Michigan state law allows people to carry firearms inside the Capitol building, though it bans protesters from carrying signs.
Last week, a large crowd of heavily armed white protesters swarmed into the building and tried to take the Senate floor. This week, Governor Gretchen Whitmer condemned the protesters, saying some of them carried nooses, Confederate flags and swastikas.
