The media for whatever reason did not really cover the amazing celebration march that started after all the peaceful protesters who chose to be arrested by crossing the police line were loaded onto the buses. The parade wound its way through the city streets, its route stopped traffic, and on both sides of the street, people stood at their office windows sometimes cheering us on, sometimes just watching.
The power of the march, with its drummers and chants that filled whose sound filled the streets was unbelievable.
Marc Fischer of the Washington Post wrote a poorly informed article about his impressions of the protest. The day before, in a television interview, he admitted to having been away for the weekend, and following the protest through the television and papers.
