About this immigration video:
Watch the Boston Immigrant Rights Rally March video, In contrast to what those of us from California and Texas were used to Boston Common and Tremont street were awash with flags from all over the world with a chorus of languages calling out in unity Immigrant rights were not just a Mexican issue or even strictly Latino there were Haitian and Irish flags joining those from all over Latin America There were several testimonials on the need for humane and comprehensive immigration reform and someone who sang the Mercedes Sosa song Todo Cambia which had everyone singing along When the speakers would give testimony in Spanish the large Haitian contingency behind us would call out in accented Spanish Muchas gracias The Colombians organized a wave of humanity by yelling out Ola and motioning everyone to hunch down and then jump up on cue By far the largest group present the Brazilians kept everyone s spirits up by playing samba on the drums and singing slogans in Portuguese Celina and I found a small group waving Mexican flags and in unison shouted Que viva Mexico and were responded to very enthusiastically All 2 500 of us the number reported by the Boston Globe marched up Tremont Street at the way to Government Center the atmosphere was very festive and family friendly and we all dispersed in a peaceful fashion once the rally s license had timed out
