Home-made news footage from Saturday's antiwar marches
The mainstream press may be downplaying the giant anti-war demonstrations that took place around the country and around the world last weekend, but net.activists made their own news. Here are videos of the march and Rob Kovic and Barbara Lee's speeches from Saturday's demonstration in San Francisco. From Ron Kovic's speech:Never underestimate who you are! Never underestimate the power of what you represent. Your beauty and your dignity. Your honesty and your integrity. You are going to change this nation. Think about it. This is your moment. Your destiny is to change this nation.Link Discuss (Thanks, Lisa!)Years from now many of you will be able to tell your children that we lived through an extraordinary turning point in American History. And we have the courage to step over that line with dignity, with non-violence and with great determination, and make this is a country that we can all love again and can all be proud of. Thank you so very much. Thank you!
