CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Organizers for the Democratic National Convention last week said they wanted to have the most open and accessible convention in history. From the looks of things, all went as planned, as thousands of convention delegates and guests packed into Uptown Charlotte with thousands more protesters, lookers-on and native Charlotteans looking to get into a bit of the DNC action. Photographer Jennifer Hogan of Hogan Imaging provides us a glimpse into the streets of Charlotte during last week’s convention on Thursday, the last day of official convention events.
