Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The participants in school walkouts over the no-indictment decisions by grand juries in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner deaths are getting younger. Yesterday, they included students from GALS Denver, which offers classes for grades six through nine. Westword art director Jay Vollmar caught up to the group at Civic Center Park. Check out his photos below.
