I returned for the 4 PM Not In Our Name rally.

I’d estimate about 500 very chilly people were there in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, East 47th Street and First Avenue.

Malachi Mccourt gets the crowd to sing.

Many young people came, including some who bussed in from Philadelphia.

These drummers are made of sterner stuff than I, they knelt and kept a steady beat for the entire event, and their clothes don’t look half as warm as mine. It was 12 degrees with a cutting breeze that made it feel even colder.
