Thousands of people marched across Charleston's main bridge in a show of unity after nine black church parishioners were gunned down during a Bible study.
Crowds gathered on either side of the bridge around dusk and then met toward the middle of the span. Part of the bridge was closed as people were walking, taking pictures and chatting.
When the marchers from the Mount Pleasant side and the Charleston side met on the bridge, there was clapping and singing of "This Little Light of Mine."

Thousands of people are meeting up on Charleston's main bridge in a show of unity after nine black church parishioners were gunned down during a Bible study.
The crowds are planning on holding hands across the bridge around dusk. Part of the bridge is closed as people are walking, chatting and taking pictures.
When the marchers from the Mount Pleasant side and the Charleston side met on the bridge, there was clapping and singing of "This little light of mine."
"It feels great. There's so much love out here," said Juliett Marsh of Summerville, who was toward the front of the marchers who walked from the Mount Pleasant side.
