PHOTOS AND VIDEO: Protesters Drag Trump’s Kennedy Center Takeover

People played music and danced in front of the arts complex Thursday night.

About 300 people gathered in Washington Circle Thursday night to protest the Trump administration’s takeover of the Kennedy Center. Trump has said drag performances at the arts complex inspired his takeover, though drag accounts for a negligible amount of its programming. The rally featured speakers and drag performances before the crowd marched over to the Kennedy Center, where people played music and danced, shouting slogans like “Drag is here to stay in DC” and “Free DC.”
