A maximum-capacity crowd heard book readings by Kirk Cameron, Riley Gaines — and sang 'God Bless America' on Saturday
Police in Huntsville, Alabama prevented a crowd of protestors from disrupting a story hour featuring actor-author Kirk Cameron and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines on Saturday.
A group of protestors outside the Madison Public Library reportedly attempted to enter the event, which was hosted by the organization Moms for Liberty as part of the "See You at the Library" series of book readings on August 5.
Inside the library was an overflow crowd of adults, parents and children trying to enjoy the book reading, which went off relatively smoothly, Fox News Digital is told early on Saturday afternoon.
Cameron started his event at the library by thanking attendees for coming out to the library — "thank you for coming to an event that is so wholesome like this, that is so faith-filled like this," he said, in part. He then began with the "Pledge of Allegiance" and led the group in singing "God Bless America," with many parents and kids holding hands over their hearts.
The event at the Madison Public Library had previously been canceled, then re-scheduled, purportedly due to capacity concerns.
