Attendees of the July 4 Parade in my hometown were treated to a Free Palestine section of the parade. Over fifty community members attended decked in the colors of the Palestinian flag.

Organized by Howard County For a Free Palestine, our participation in the parade represented β€œPalestine’s right to freedom on a day where we celebrate our own.”

Needless to say, we were met with a counter protest.

The counter-protest.
The counter-protest.
