The 'Anti-Capitalist Anti-War March' was the more radical of the two. It began at 9am on Saturday, 29sep from Upper Senate Park across from Union Station and the US Capitol led by Police Chief Ramsey and Assistant Chief Gainer it proceded via New Jersey Avenue to and along Massachusetts Avenue until 3rd Street and then turned onto H Street so as to cross downtown WDC where on H at 10th Street a 'clash' broke-out between the police and the protesters that by 11th Street had been brought 'under control'.

However, I did awake early Sunday morning in time enough to photograph the Sunday, 30sep 'March for Peace' which began at 11am in Maclcolm X Park with a speakers' rally and prayer vigil, departing from the park at 15th and Euclid Streets, proceding on Euclid across to 14th Street and then down 14th where at the bottom of 'The Hill' at the intersection of 14th and Florida Avenue Police Chief Ramsey and Assistant Chief Gainer joined in and then led the march, on foot, down to R Street and then onward to Massachusetts Avenue where the protesters gathered for a second rally in Sheridan Circle to grieve the 11sep victims and to celebrate the principals of peace ...
