Title:
Aerial view of Latino and Immigrants' Rights March in Washington D.C
Description:
View from above of demonstrators carrying protest signs and flags as they walk in the Latino and Immigrants' Rights March in Washington, D.C. The Latino and Immigrants' Rights March was the first national rally in Washington, D.C., for equal rights for immigrants. The objectives of the march were to protest new laws that would cut off benefits to immigrants, to protect civil rights, and to establish immigration reform. The Chinese Progressive Association was one of many organizations to participate in this event. In this image, protesters are holding signs that read: "America is a continent from Canada to Argentina"; "I was American before I got here"; "I don't speak English only!"; "Ho Human Being is Illegal"; and "Latinos in the House."
