Like Paddy,this stirs old and happy memories.I am so glad the younger people
of today are are at last protesting in away that gains attention.There is hope now for the future
Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Nice to see a new generation is willing to let the world see their little light shining brightly. Rather than accept things meekly. I too feel there maybe hope for the future.
What a wonderful scene, I just hope the AUTHORITIES, just dont turn ugly, for a while, you can bet they will, then it will be like Syria, in USA
Almost forgot, who could forget the wonderful “We Shall Overcome”. Listening to it on Utube….still makes me tingle all over..
