Hey Blogsters,
I've put up a Flickr photo page to accompany the blog. Click Here for some of my shots from the march today: http://www.flickr.com/photos/9423977@N06/
It's easy to upload your own photos to the Flickr site if you'd like to contribute. Just hit "sign in " in the upper right corner of the page linked above and with username "ussfatlanta" and the password I gave out today (and that Jackie sent over email earlier). Then just hit upload and it's a snap from there.

I still find it fascinating that the press can so drastically underestimate the numbers of a march--not rocket science. The march by organizers and my own informal estimates (by surveying at least 10-12 participants) was at least 5000-7000 people. Both the local paper (story link below) and the local fox affiliate (who I assume was repeating the journalists' number) both put the crowd at a 1000 people. There are at least a 1000 people in the photo of the march in the Atlanta Journal article…

The local Fox segment on the Forum (about 10-15 seconds) followed a longer segment on an Anti-Immigrant rally which they estimated to be in the hundreds, but fro the video appeared to be less than 100—around 70-80 people. It's as though they wanted the small anti-immigrant rally to appear to be on the same scale as the many 1000s that had gathered for the Forum. The video they showed was aerial (like surveillance photos) of a very small segment of the march which appeared to stretch for at least half a mile at times.
At this point I have counted more articles on the USSF from outside of the US than domestically… several from Cuba media. Good bless the American press!
BTW--great photos Dan.
