Columbus did not discover America. Some wandering Siberians did about 12,000 years before 1492. Over 100 of us immigrants celebrated our wandering histories in downtown Fresno with a spirited march and rally. We did a big loop starting in the Fulton Mall at a plaque honoring the the 100 unionists who were arrested in 1910 for reading the U.S. Constitution here. We stopped at the federal building to demand legal status for all undocumented workers. In Courthouse Park at a Toltec statue we celebrated our Mexican roots with with an Aztec dance. Back at the mall we spoke of abolishing the word stranger. Click on URL above to hear us. To hear how Elfie linked in the Okie journey. For more immigrant info call: 559.498.6033
