Salt Lake City Marches for Peace

February 2003



Photographs and Notes by Richard Garrard.

January 18, 2003, saw a gathering for peace in Salt Lake City. Beginning at the Jubilee Center, a crowd of hundreds assembled; they marched (in a jubilant but orderly fashion) down Second East to Washington Square and met in front of the Salt Lake City and County Building.

By the time the speakers began, between one and three thousand concerned citizens, old, young, in between, of every race and gender and type, stood in the bright and beautiful day to hear folk songs, rousing speeches, poetry, and personal experiences.

The people assembled, the people spoke, the people were heard. "We the People" met in a mutual hope and harmony, toward a common purpose: to affirm a love of peace and denounce the rush to war.

Humanist of Utah members Heather Dorrell, Earl and Corinne Wunderli, Richard Garrard, and Eve O'Neill joined the rally and march for peace. If other chapter members were there, we welcome your stories and photographs.
