Crowd Size of DC March
Various reports are reporting various sizes of the crowd for the 12 Sep 09 March on Washington DC. I have read/heard anywhere between 1 Million to 2.3 Million.
That is a HUGE range. However, this is what we do know.
This makes it the biggest MARCH or PROTEST in DC, ever. Yes, the President's swearing in was 1.2 Million, so the 9/12 march was either bigger or smaller than that, depending on which report you read.
Some other well-known marches:
Vietnam War protest: 250,000
'Million Man March": 150,000
My family and I to Memorials: 5
(at least the first two are well-known)
