JOHN KOUNS WAS ONE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE MARCH TO SACRAMENTO. IN THIS PHOTO JOHN IS ALMOST DEAD CENTER AND HAS A CAMERA STRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK.
|
|
YOU CAN SPOT THE HOMEMADE HUELGA FLAGS BECAUSE THE AZTEC EAGLE HAS A NECK SIMILAR TO THAT OF A TURKEY.
|
|
MILES AND MILES OF OPEN SPACE AND ROLLING TERRAIN DID NOT PROVIDE MUCH BY WAY OF SCENERY BUT THE MARCHERS TRUDGED THROUGH IT.
|
|
PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS WAS ABLE TO FIND A TREE - BUT NOT MUCH OF ONE AT THAT - TO FRAME HIS PHOTO OF THE MARCH TO SACRAMENTO
|
|
PHOTOGRAPHER JON LEWIS USED THIS HIGHWAY PROP TO SHOW THE MARCHERS IN ALMOST FULL CIRCLE.
|
|
DRIVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA, THE COUNTRYSIDE SEEMS FLAT AS A TABLE, BUT WALKING IT SHOWS ANOTHER REALITY: ROLLING TERRAIN.
|
|
AT THIS POINT THE MARCH HAS PICKED UP HUNDREDS OF MARCHERS AND THEY WALK IN TIGHT FORMATION TO ACCOMODATE THE NUMBERS.
|
|
THE MARCHERS WERE NOT PERMITTED TO WALK ON THE ROADWAY ITSELF BUT ONLY ON THE EDGE. THIS MADE FOR DIFFICULT WALKING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PAVED SHOULDER AND THE GROUND WAS UNEVEN AND EVEN TILTED.
|
|
AS THE MARCH CAME CLOSER AND CLOSER TO SACRAMENTO MORE "BOYCOTT DIGIORGIO" SIGNS BEGAN TO SHOW UP. THE NFWA WAS USING THE PUBLIC ATTENTION ON THE MARCH TO ADVERTISE THEIR STRIKE AGAINST THE HUGE DIGIORGIO CORPORATION.
|
|
THE DELANO STRIKERS WHO SERVED AS HONOR GUARDS FOR THE MARCH - CARRYING THE BANNER OF THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE, THE AMERICAN FLAG AND THE MEXICAN FLAG -DID SO WITH DIGNIFIED BEARING.
|
|
IT WOULD BE A RARE MARCH DAY THAT GUITARS OR ACCORDIANS WOULD NOT BE PRESENT TO PROVIDE MUSIC AND SINGING FOR THE MARCHERS.
|
|
MANY THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS ARRIVED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINAL DAYS OF THE MARCH TO SACRAMENTO. HERE THE MARCH CROSSES THE SACRAMENTO RIVER ENROUTE TO THE STATE CAPITOL.
