Activists call for protests to continue despite charges being laid against officers

Baltimore's mayor has lifted a citywide curfew, six days after riots sparked by Freddie Gray's death, and faith leaders have called for continued activism until justice is achieved.

A jubilant crowd of several hundred prayed and sang civilrights anthems at a City Hall rally. Sunday's peaceful gathering came two days after the city's top prosecutor announced charges against six officers involved in Gray's arrest. His death came amid a national debate about the deaths of black men at the hands of police.
