COOPERSTOWN – Coronavirus-era concerns raised by 500 people packed into Muller Plaza at last Sunday's rally for justice may be avoided this coming Sunday in front the county courthouse here.

"We will have people spread out to the extent possible," said Village Trustee MacGuire Benton, who attended last week's rally and is one of four people organizing this one.

People will be asked to wear masks and to gather in several groups of no more than 50 people each, he said.  Plus, the Cooperstown Distillery is donating 10 bottles of Cooper's Clean hand-sanitizer to hinder the spread of any infection.
