We constantly hear that youth are our future - the only thing wrong with that  (as we see proven above) is recognizing that youth are today.  In a society where age is given prevalence over voice - the youth of today are challenging that system of operation.  Young people today are more aware of thier surroundings and understand that even though they can't vote - laws passed today will affect them tomorrow and generations to come.  They can't have that - in response - they unite.  A quote that a young women was carrying says it best,"If my brother's not free- I'm not free" MLK Jr.  Thank God the young people of today will take this with them as adults of the future.

thanks for putting up the essay. One correction -- the protest was on March 30, 2006. :)
