In his victory speech, Trump called them America’s “forgotten men and women”, the workers from the coalfields of Appalachia to the hallowing manufacturing towns of the Rust Belt who propelled him to an improbable victory. They felt left behind by progress, laughed at by the elite, and so put their faith in the billionaire businessman with a sharp tongue and short temper. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Students at Fisk University have held a protest that blocked traffic in downtown Nashville Wednesday afternoon to express their disagreement with Donald Trump being elected president.
Student Justin Jones, who helped organize the protest, told The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/2fmQtzY) that students decided to protest Trump's election due to "values of discrimination, inequality and exclusion he has championed."
The group marched past the Capitol and through Lower Broadway before heading back to Fisk.
Police used rolling roadblocks to redirect traffic and at times worked with demonstrators so that some cars could pass, but there were no major interactions.
