Family photos from the Southern Regional March

[Keseys Ghost]

Over the weekend, our family traveled to Atlanta to represent the Covington Peace Project at the Southern Regional March. Sponsored by the April First Coalition and the Georgia Peace and Justice Coalition/Atlanta, it was the largest antiwar demonstration in the southeastern U. S. since New Orleans’ 2005 Jazz Funeral for Democracy.

We were thrilled to run into many friends from the old Louisiana Activist Network displaced by Hurricane Katrina who are now in Atlanta and scattered across the South in towns like Asheville, Memphis, Knoxville, Charleston, and Winston-Salem. We had many great reunions on the streets Saturday afternoon.

Many thanks to Wayne Sabel of the Montgomery Peace Project and his lovely wife, Cheryl, president of the Montgomery, Alabama chapter of NOW, for their hospitality, friendship, and inspiration.

These are our family photos:
