President Barack Obama spoke for more than an hour about immigration at a Nashville community center today. His visit drew hundreds of protesters and people to cheer his arrival.

The president delivered a speech on immigration reform at Casa Azafrán, where he also took questions from a group of invitation-only guests. They filled a small room at the community center decorated with art by Jairo Prado, who was born in Colombia and now lives in Nashville. The president was on a stage for more than an hour. The Q&A took on a casual tone as he sipped tea and removed his suit jacket. About the same time as Air Force One took off from Washington, D.C., hours earlier, protesters began gathering outside the Nashville community center. The few early protesters arrived about noon. By the time Obama took the stage, 100 to 150 people had crowded on the sidewalk. Protesters who bundled against the cold marched and chanted and hit drums. Some held signs. Others held megaphones. "We are allowing undocumented immigrants to take jobs that veterans could have,"Karen Douglas of Clarksville said. "Hands up, not one more," they chanted. One sign read: "Know justice, know peace!" Others read: "Black Lives Matter."
