La Prensa reports on Dearborn and Toledo Palestine rallies
The recent edition of La Prensa has an article from the Associated Press that was not covered online in this area on the Protest rally that took place on December 30th in Dearborn.
Two of my daughters were in Dearborn at the time, this article confirms what they had told me they witnessed:
Waving Palestinian flags and shouting slogans, close to a thousand Arab-Americans and others marched through the Detroit suburb of Dearborn on Dec. 30, 2008 evening to protest Israeli military strikes against the Gaza Strip.
The peaceful and orderly protesters braved 30-degree weather and filled eight blocks of a major thoroughfare in Dearborn, widely seen as the heart of Arab-America with its many mosques and scores of Arabic-signed businesses.Southeastern Michigan is home to around 300,000 people with roots in the Arab world, the result of more than a century of immigration.
The article also briefly mentions one of the recent rallies that was held here in Toledo.
As a side note, today is El Dia De Reyes, or as some call it Day of Three Kings.
