San Antonio: Falun Gong Practitioners Attend Martin Luther King, Jr. March (Photos)


By practitioners from Texas

(Clearwisdom.net, January 25, 2004) On January 19, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners from San Antonio and Austin participated in Martin Luther King, Jr. Day March and rally in San Antonio. The march's local theme was "struggle for peace through non-violence."

The annual MLK march is one of the grandest parades in San Antonio. This year, over 50,000 people from a range of ages and races participated in the march. The sponsor expressed that San Antonio citizens and other American people love freedom and support human rights.

Falun Gong practitioners attended this parade three years ago and were well received. In this year's parade, practitioners unfurled banners that read, "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" and "China, Stop Persecuting Falun Gong," which were very eye-catching in the walking group processions.

Both sides of the 10-mile-long route were crowded with people. They were very happy to take practitioners' truth-clarifying materials. Many people actively asked for the materials and they longed for learning about the truth of Falun Gong.

Many residents learned from different channels about Falun Gong and the persecution it encountered in China. They supported practitioners' efforts. Some people wanted to learn the Falun Gong exercises after they heard about Falun Gong, but they were unable to contact practitioners. This time, they met practitioners in the march and were especially happy.
