Pictures from Tibetan Uprising Day March 10, 2007 (Chicago)

At 11 am Tibetans and their supporters gathered at Water Tower Place (Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL)...



When the Rally started, we were hundreds...





Then Yeshi Tenzin Dremagang (Tibetan Alliance of Chicago President) and Hilary Edwards (SFT Midwest Regional Coordinator) began the rally with their impassioned speeches...



And the chanting began...





Then we marched the mile to the Chinese Consulate, passing many shoppers and sports fans (the Men's Big 10 Basketball Tournament was that day)...


Then we stood in front of the Chinese Consulate, at the corner of a busy intersection, and told the Chinese Government what we thought of their illegal occupation of Tibet.

Benjamin Cox, board member of the International Tibet Independence Movement, addressed the crowd.
