The crowd was so amazing! To learn more about the motivation behind today's events around the nation, please visit <a href="http://www.april10.org/" target="_blank">April10.org</a>. Here are some of the pictures I took:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/euphoricrina/immigration1.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"></a><br />This was the astounding crowd at the Smithsonian Metro station. The train was absolutely packed until we reached this stop, but this is what we saw after exiting the train.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/euphoricrina/immigration19.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"></a><br />There were so many people. It was great to see the amount of people who came out to support this event!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/euphoricrina/immigration18.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"></a><br />One of my favorite pictures. These makeshift "pyramids" were going up all over the place. The two brothers were so determined to stay up and to hold this girl up. The girl just seemed so excited to be there and to be doing something to show her support.<br /><br /><br /><i>~ Entry written and posted by Lorina Hernandez ~</i>
