SEDGWICK COUNTY -Protesters gathered in Wichita’s Old Town to voice their opinions on the recent election. A crowd of approximately 200 participated in the peaceful demonstration.

More than 100 protesters in Kansas City, Missouri, are decrying president-elect Donald Trump.

As temperatures dipped into the 40s, the demonstrators gathered Friday night outside Kansas City’s landmark Union Station and planned to march to City Hall in the latest protest over Republican mogul’s victory.

Clutching a placard reading “Not My President,” 67-year-old Kansas high school teacher David Young says he objects to what he perceived to be Trump’s intolerance toward Hispanics and other demographic groups during his campaign.

Young, a French and Spanish instructor from Shawnee, Kansas, says “Trump’s message of hate has to be stopped,” and “it goes against everything we’re trying to teach.”
