History was made ”” and echoed ”” in Latino march. Milwaukee, Wisconsin

“The “Day without Latinos” march took place less than a mile from where I was working in downtown Milwaukee, but it escaped my notice completely.

Not until the March 23 demonstration was over did I realize that history had been made.

Whether the event attracted the 30,000 people claimed by its organizers or the 10,000 to 15,000 estimated by local police, it was Milwaukee’s largest protest march in decades. Not since the 1960s have so many people taken to the streets to vent their anger, and rarely have they done it so peacefully.”
