Photos from Rochester Sign Language March

It was a beautiful day for local deaf community members to participate in the International Day of Deaf People and Sign Languages. About 40 people took part in a rally and march on the NTID/RIT campus beginning 2 pm on Saturday, September 29. Participants were encouraged to wear black to show their support. Marchers met in front of the Gordon Field House for a moment of silence for those who have been deprived of sign language, followed by remarks by local deaf leaders. The group then walked east toward the residence area and through the NTID Frisina Quad, then onward to the main campus road and finally arriving back at the starting point, where more remarks were made.

Here is a slide show of 50 images from the march. Have fun enjoying them and feel free to leave comments.
