Hundreds of people rallied in front of CNN center in Atlanta on Saturday to protest the violent reaction of the Iranian government toward demonstrators in Iran. At the same time, hip-hop fans were gathering for the Hot 107.9 (WHTA-FM) Birthday Bash, a concert at Phillips Arena, which is next to CNN center. At moments the two groups crossed paths.
