The Largest Convention Protest In History
ators stepped off from Seventh Avenue and 23rd Street around 11:30 a.m., walked north past Madison Square Garden, and circled back east and south to Union Square. Five hours later, there were still people filing down Broadway to the dispersal point. Organizers from United for Peace and Justice claimed that the march drew 500,000 people; if that figure were accurate, it would mean that the day's anti-Bush protesters almost exceeded the number of registered Republicans in all of New York City.
