March 20, 2004: Tens of thousands of demonstrators \r\nturned out for the first anniversary anti-war protests in the \r\ncenter of the city of Hollywood, California. The march traveled about a 1.5 mile \r\nstarting at Hollywood Boulevard and Vine and ending in front of the Kodak \r\nTheater at Highland and Hollywood.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nPolice presence was visible but appeared to take a back seat\r\nas demonstrators marched holding signs, wearing costumes, \r\npushing parade sized floats, and holding up wall sized murals \r\nin order to express their voices in opposition to the war in Iraq.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nAt the front of the marching protestors in his signature wheelchair \r\naparatus was war veteran Ron Kovic who later spoke at the end of the \r\nmarch ralley before thousands of cheering demonstrators.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nThe march started shortly after 12 noon, and peacefully ended a little \r\nafter 4:30 p.m. in the evening.  Performing artists played music and \r\nsang as demonstrators slowly subsided down city streets \r\ncarrying what survived of their signs, voices and energy.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nIn order to better illustrate the event, photographer Michael Uribe \r\nhas prepared the first fifty (50) photographs of hundreds he took\r\nduring the event, and has graciously permitted them to be \r\nmade available to you for free on this website for you to \r\nwitness the historic events taking place this weekend not only in\r\nHollywood, California, but in the rest of the nation, and around the\r\nglobe.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nUribe, who focuses photographing public demonstrations, which\r\nhave included the Elian Gonzalez, Election 2000, and Miami Circle\r\nprotests over the years, uses a patented pericam system to gain \r\na \"higher\" perspective of the events he literally covers.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nTo see the first of Uribe's photographs\r\n\r\n(((Click Here))).\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nIf you would like to share your own photographs of this\r\nweekend's demonstration, you can upload them on\r\nWebsiteCity.com's forum \r\narea \r\n(((Click Here))).\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nFor more information on reprints and purchase of watermark free\r\ncopies of Uribe's photographs he can be contacted by e-mail at\r\nmichaeluribe@websitecity.com or at info@michaeluribe.com.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nTo make a contribution towards Uribe's time and energy he has\r\napplied to share with you his photo journlism of this \r\nweekend's historic March 20, 2004 anti-war demonstration in Hollywood, \r\nCalifornia, go to \r\n\r\n(((Click Here))).\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<tr><td>\r\n<b>Quick Links<\/b>\r\n<li>International Answer.org<\/li>\r\n<li>AnswerLA.org<\/li>\r\n\r\n<\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"michaeluribe@websitecity.com","link":"http:\/\/www.websitecity.com\/iraq","address":"P.O.
