LINCOLN, Ill. (WAND) - As America enters into its second week of protests, small towns across central Illinois participated in the movement.

From Postville Park to the Logan County Courthouse, nearly a hundred people marched in solidarity. 

The turnout of the event wasn't expected to be that large, but the march was so loud, people joined in the peaceful march as it passed by neighborhoods. Their message was loud and clear. As one protester said, "This fight is about holding police accountable for taking the lives of black men and women."

People from different backgrounds, ages and races marched together.

"When a small town in rural Illinois has this many people and it's loud of a voice," one protester said. 

No matter where it is, whether its in a big city or a small town, racial injustice won't be tolerated.Â
