(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.
