Notes

According to the Dallas Police Department, at least 100,000 people marched in the most well-attended civil movement in the history of Dallas. The protesters demanded the legalization of Hispanic undocumented immigrants, estimated to be about twelve million in the United States.

Among those marching are Adelfa Callejo, a Dallas lawyer and civil rights activist who is a leader in the Hispanic community, and Hector Flores, who has served as National President of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), Director of Recruitment and Retention for the Dallas Independent School District, and an Equal Opportunity Specialist for the Office of Civil Rights within the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

The so-called "mega march" was carried out to demand immigrant amnesty as members of the U.S. Congress debated immigration reform.

Según el Departamento de Policía de Dallas, al menos 100.000 personas marcharon en el movimiento civil más concurrido de la historia de Dallas. Los manifestantes exigieron la legalización de los inmigrantes indocumentados hispanos, que se calcula que son unos doce millones en Estados Unidos.

Entre los manifestantes se encontraban Adelfa Callejo, abogada de Dallas y activista de los derechos civiles, líder de la comunidad hispana, y Héctor Flores, que ha sido Presidente Nacional de la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos (LULAC), Director de Contratación y Retención del Distrito Escolar Independiente de Dallas y Especialista en Igualdad de Oportunidades de la Oficina de Derechos Civiles del Departamento de Salud, Educación y Bienestar.

La llamada "megamarcha" se llevó a cabo para exigir la amnistía de los inmigrantes mientras los miembros del Congreso de Estados Unidos debatían la reforma migratoria.
