Estimates vary as to the size of the Demonstration. Some estimates were as low as 50,000 differ wildly from other estimates as high as 200,000. But what could not be debated is that the demonstration included a broad representation of Americans from all walks of life.
Apparent in the crowd were Hispanics, African Americans, Native Americans, European Americans, Middle Eastern peoples. There were contingents of demonstrators self identified as Palestinians, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Veterans, Gays, Architects, Native Americans, and students. All ages were represented, From the elderly to toddlers.
