A Pittsburgh Action for Black Trans Lives rally and march was held Thursday.

Members of the black transgender community and their allies met at Freedom Corner in the Hill District before marching to the Pittsburgh City-County Building where several speakers addressed the crowd with their own personal stories.

The nearly four-hour demonstration ended peacefully.
