Re: [Marxism] Antiwar demonstration in Washington

[Greg Dunkel <gdunkel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was taking pictures, so I can document what I say.

The union contingents in the march were predominantly Black and Latino.
I saw TWU 100, PSC -- CUNY faculty and staff with a number of CUNY
students,  DC 37, UNITE HERE, AFSCME DC 41 (Philadelphia), USWA 8331
(Busdrivers from Boston.). USLAW (US Labor against the War) contingent
was almost all Black.

Howard Divinity Schools marched.  One of the Baltimore contingents I saw
was about 1/3 Black -- I think it was from U of Baltimore

About 80 to 100 people marched in a Haiti Solidarity Network organized
group, almost all Haitian.

But I agree the predominant complexion of the march was white.
