School of the Americas Protest November 1999
Day 2: The Rally
After spending a night locked in a Quaker meetinghouse in Atlanta, we made it to Columbus for the rally on Saturday morning.
Crowds of protestors lined the curb and police cars lined the street.
I was amazed at the number of people who turned out for it. There were tons and tons of students representing their schools as well as people of all other ages.
Among the many captivating speakers and entertainers who dominated the stage, singers Colleen Kattau and Jolie Christine Rickman engaged the crowd with their spirited songs.
Although our group from Guilford was small compared to many of the other school groups, we were no less expressive. Pictured above are Doug and Brock holding up a sign with Charles being a bystander on the left.
And here's David and David holding up our other big sign, and Claire standing in front of the first David, resting her arms.
We stand united
