Here's another news photo from Flickr, this time by a user named toddhanz (and this dude's photos are actually very professional). The immigration rallies in the West looked at first like students walking out of class but they were actually planned for months, at least since December '05. But they quickly grew into something even bigger than what the planners might have expected as masses of the population turned out to support the case for immigrantion reform. I heard how some radio DJs played a huge role in drumming up interest for the events as much of the dance radio, hip-hop radio, and Spanish-language radio in L.A. is anchored by Latino radio personalities.
