PEACE, LOVE AND WAR

As an activist of many protests, I was excited to report on the Martin Luther King March- War Against Racial Discrimination. Though it was very cold, I felt like I was at home with all the protesters fighting for a cause that needs to be heard. Signs were raised to the sky, voices were yearning to be heard, fliers were being passed out like coupons and police officers were getting ready for the taste of hippie blood. When we got there, we came to the last stop on the march of reform and was facing down one of the targets of the protest, Lou Dobbs, who was accused of racism towards Hispanics. We were able to get a couple of video interviews but the cold was too unbearable to withstand. But the best part was everyone who was there seemed to have their own personal belief and own reason to be there, whether it was for racial discrimination towards immigrants or regular American citizen of different races, people were joining together to fight for a common cause. Though the turnout of the march was very little, it shows that our four father's blood still runs within us and that Americans are willing to fight for what they believe in.
