Peace Movements Show Force in Streets of DC

by Chris Strohm
The signifcance of the event became immediately apparent: For perhaps the first time in history, a massive march of people against war was on the loose in the nation's capitol, controlling the streets and showing no signs of stopping. A sea of people stretching more than one mile long and taking up four lanes of roadway marched through the nation's capitol Saturday in vocal and colorful opposition to the U.S. government's drive to war with Iraq.
Tens of thousands of people of diverse ages and ethnic backgrounds braved frigid weather to peacefully rally in front of Congress and march in the streets of Washignton, DC, to oppose war and to demand peace and justice. In the game of estimating crowd size, police said about 30,000 people participated while organizers put the number at 500,000.
