Activists marching from Ferguson to Jefferson City, Missouri in support of the value of black men's lives were met with a grotesque display of white supremacy in one town.

The marchers numbered around 50, and are part of the NAACP's 120 mile, 7-day march called, "Journey for Justice: Ferguson to Jefferson City".

Reports The Missourian:

About 200 people met the marchers as they reached Rosebud around noon, activists said. A display of fried chicken, a melon and a 40-ounce beer bottle had been placed in the street. A Confederate flag flew. Counter-protestors shouted racial epithets.
