Gran Marcha
La Gran Marcha (aka "The Great March") was a large civil and human rights gathering which occurred in downtown Los Angeles, CA on March 25th, 2006. The march and rally consisted primarily of undocumented Mexican immigrants, Mexican-Americans, other Central American immigrants and Latino groups. The Asian community was primarily represented by Korean immigrants, Korean-Americans, and Chinese-Americans. It was a protest of the proposed Sensenbrenner / King House Resoultion 4437 (aka H.R. 4437) which concerns USA immigration laws and U.S. national security. Estimates of the crowd size were given at between 500 thousand and 1 million demonstrators. As such, La Gran Marcha is the largest civil and human rights gathering in the history of the United States. Remarkably, not one arrest for disorderly behavior or rowdiness was recorded.
