Protest in Big Oil country
Houston ANSWER's call for a demonstration against war and
racism on Sept. 29 was answered by people from many
organizations. Gathering in front of the headquarters of the
Armed Forces Reserves, some 70 people carrying signs and
banners urged passing drivers to "honk for peace," which many
did. Peace signs and friendly waves far outnumbered hostile
gestures. In the accompanying photograph, rally chair Gloria
Rubac holds sound system while youth activist and journalist
"Chickpea" addresses demonstrators, media and passersby.
University of Houston professor Bob Buzanco, center, and
Cristobal Hinojosa of Mexicanos en Accion were among the
speakers.
