Immigrants march for dignity
Latin@ community members march on Oct. 12--La Dia de la
Raza--in Doraville, an Atlanta suburb. They demanded drivers'
licenses for immigrants, an end to racist profiling and
recognition of their contributions to Georgia's economy.
The Second Annual March for Dignity was organized by the
Coordinating Council of Latin@ Community leaders. Speakers at
the closing rally at UAW Local 10's union hall included African
American and Latin@ elected officials, union leaders from the
Atlanta Labor Council, UNITE HERE and UAW, and veteran civil
rights activists.
