On this past Saturday, the second anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, Houstonians commemorated the event with a number of events:
A march of between 200 and 300 people gathered at Evan Chew Park (located at Dunlavy and Castle Ct), and marched down Richmond Avenue, to Montrose where they headed south under highway 59 to Bell Park at Banks and Montrose. Among those present was a bike bloc of around 25 people, an antiwar profiteering bloc, and a fantastic sound system. At Bell Park, there was a long list of speakers, and a dance off with the 5 or 6 Protest Warriors who demonstated that they love the american flag and cannot dance.
