DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) — A total of four people now face charges in connection with the toppling of a Confederate statue in front of the old Durham County courthouse Monday evening.

Three of the four are expected in court Thursday — Dante Emmanuel Strobino, 35, Ngoc Loan Tran, 24, and Peter Gilbert, 39, all of Durham.

Takiyah Thompson, 22, of Durham, was the first person charged in the incident. She had her first court appearance Wednesday morning.

Before Strobino, Tran and Gilbert appear before a judge, a group is expected to rally outside the courthouse to protest the charges.

3. it's not thousands,

but it's not 10's either - i'm saying over 100 anyway. the twitter thread has me in tears. I have to get on the lists for these actions, i am so ready to march again.

terrible thing about me is i cannot tolerate the summers down here. i'm hoping for a march in Oct or Nov that will make the womens march look puny.
