Very touching pictures of the Immigration rallies

1 I blogged about the relevance of the immigration rallies back in April and May.  I think it is great that immigrants regardless of origin or what prompted their situation become active participants in the debate on them. 

I just ran across a picture in flickr that touched me very deeply.  It is from the May day protest in Chicago. Imagine this: the Federal Plaza in Chicago, early in the morning, the Plaza is basically empty.  Half a million people will fill the plaza in a few hours.  But now, a lady and her two girls are there, standing in the middle of the vastness of the Plaza, waiting for their people to show up.

The picture is by jvoves and is released under a Creative Commons license.  You can also look at his picture set on the May 1st rallies.
