Thousands of students and their supporters gathered on Saturday April 15th at City Hall. They were demanding dignity for immigrants in a continuation of the massive protests all across the US. This particular march was dedicated to the memory of Anthony Soltero, the 14 year old middle school student who shot himself after being reprimanded by his vice-principle for participating in a student walkout. Among those present were Louise Corrales, Anthony’s mother, Montezuma Esparza, the director of the recent TV film Walkout, and Sherman Austin, former political prisoner. Uprising assistant producer Gabriel San Roman was at the march and brings you this report.
