March and Rally in Birmingham on Sept. 24 ..........Lots of PIX

[Alamom]

We had a great March & Rally in Birmingham , Al ( yesterday )
We only had a couple of paragraphs of advertisement in The Birmingham news, 9/22.
The organizers worked hard to get the word out. (not an easy job here)

3-4 Local TV affiliate stations were there. NBC, ABC, FOX, etc. We saw maybe 30 seconds reported on NBC last evening...maybe there was more. The News Lady said maybe 250-300 were there.
My husband and I counted (seperately) as the groups of people settled in the park for the rally and we both came up with close to 500.
So, in spite of few people even knowing this Event was going on, we had a good turnout. People from every walk of life.
A good day.
