Posted — UpdatedFAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — As anti-war rallies were held across the county, a similar peace rally attracted about 300 protestors in Fayetteville.
Demonstrators chanted as they walked near downtown Fayetteville and made their way to Rowan Street Park.
“We are a military family,” said protestor Lisa Townsend. “I'm opposed to this war and it's wrong.”
