Hundreds of black activists meant the group were outnumbered as they lined up behind barricades on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. They were eventually told to leave by police 

According to Fox 4, they only stood firm for a few minutes before police told them to leave for their own safety.

As they left, the protesters chanted: 'Black power'. 

A large number of officers were on duty, fearing racial overtones of the rally would turn into violence. 

Activist Olinka Green told the Dallas Morning News: 'This is what they fear - the black man. This is what America fears.'
