Hundreds March Through Pontiac For A Day Without Immigrants

As the sun rose over downtown Pontiac on Thursday, Feb. 16, so did the voices of hundreds of members of the Hispanic and Latino communities as they marched from Edison St. to city hall, hoisting signs into the early morning air with cries of "Latinos Unidos," or, "Latinos United." The protest was a part of a strike taking place across the country on Thursday asking members of the Hispanic and Latinos communities to boycott attending work or school to highlight the contributions immigrants make on a daily basis.
