Ohio, USA: Falun Gong Practitioners Participate in Two Independence Day Parades (Photos)


(Clearwisdom.net) Independence Day parades provide excellent opportunities for Americans to promote the spirit of democracy, and they are also good platforms for practitioners to present the beauty of Falun Dafa to Americans. Over the past several years, Falun Gong has been the only Asian group participating in the annual Columbus Independence Day Parade. This year, on the afternoon of July 1 and the morning of July 4, local practitioners participated in the Columbus and Upper Arlington Independence Day parades respectively. Practitioners performed on the traditional Chinese waist drums for the first time for Ohioans.
