Anti-War Million Musician March - Austin, Texas - March 17, 2007

I am primarily a street and documentary photographer.

On March 17, St. Patrick's Day, an anti-war rally was held in downtown Austin, Texas. The Million Musician March Against the War is a unique event that brings together local and national musicians in a march and parade protesting the Iraqi War.

The protesters arrived on the grounds of the state capitol on a very cloudy and overcast day. The plan was for the the march and parade to wind through downtown Austin and eventually arrive at the steps of City Hall. The route was about two miles long and as the protesters marched, the parade picked up steam and more and more people joined in the march. At the end, the march was estimated at about a thousand strong.

Thanks for taking a look. Please feel free to sign the guestbook or leave a comment.
