 Not just a face in the crowd:  Elizabeth Hutchinson is originally from New Jersey but marched for Martin Luther King and Cesar Chavez and was present during Melon Strike of 1966 here in RGV

 Teresa Saldivar helped organize the March on Washington from Linear Park

 Mary Helen Flores through Citizens Against Voter Abuse (C.A.V.A.) has effectively crippled the politiquera system which has reigned throughout the RGV for the past 50 years or so.

I apologize for the poor quality of photos.  Somebody (me actually) messed up the settings on my camera and all the photos were coming out too bright.

There may have been 800 to well-over 1,000 people there
