Around a dozen citizens showed up at the Polk County Courthouse on Inauguration Day just after newly-elected President Donald Trump was officially sworn-in on Friday, January 20, 2017. Organizers of the “Love Trumps Hate” event said, “This peaceful assembly is being held on Inauguration Day, in solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington scheduled for the following day. Some of us are unable to participate in that march or Little Rock/Fayetteville’s march, and this assembly gives us the opportunity to peacefully express our views and show support.”
