400,000 March in NYC
In Trump’s Hometown, a Clear Message of Defiance From Women
New Yorkers flooded the streets of Manhattan on Saturday aiming to send a message to President Trump that his hometown would be a center of resistance during his administration.
The mayor’s office estimated that 400,000 people took part in the march, which was in concert with other Women’s March rallies across the country. With huge crowds along Fifth Avenue near Trump Tower, a large slice of Manhattan came to a standstill for much of the day. Participants booed Mr. Trump and hoisted signs mocking both his hair and his relationship with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
It was a moment of both catharsis and camaraderie in a city that was, for the most part, shocked and disappointed by Mr. Trump’s ascendance to the presidency.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: 400,000 March in NYC
This photo and similar tv camera shots well into the evening darkness is absolutely amazing? I've seen large gatherings from the end of WWII to present day and it is doubtful there has been any thing close to this one. Kudos to New Yorkers and others who came out to fill the streets of their city to join in the movement.
