coverage of the december 3 anniversary rally at south philadelphia high school


Here's some coverage of the rally that happened last Friday at the South Philadelphia High School, commemorating the one-year anniversary of the December 3rd attacks. Despite near-freezing temperatures, nearly a hundred community members showed up, and I'm told that it was a really moving event.
