RNC 2008: Poor People's March, September 2

Photos By John Hoff, September 2

Here is the beginning of the September 2 Poor People's March. The march was led by the symbolic coffin of a dead soldier--well, I don't know, it's possible some of his ashes were actually in the coffin, or some personal effects--and three children in strollers. Although...

...the kids look big for the strollers, the route was miles long so it made sense to push the children in strollers at the front of the marchers. The photo below shows the detenion facility as the marchers went past.
