CHAPEL HILL - Anti-war protesters marked the fifth anniversary of the
war in Iraq with a march today on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus and in
downtown Chapel Hill. The march ended with speeches, drumming and
dancing on the steps of the university administration building. Hannah
Simmons, a studio art major at UNC, made several large figures carried by
protesters. "I thought the march would be bigger and better with bigger
and better visuals," Simmons said of the figures covering their eyes,
mouths and ears.Simmons said she had been inspired by Vietnam-era protest art."We're trying to say, 'Troops out now,'" said Linda Gomaa, a senior and
event organizer. "Not next week ... but now." Organizers said 200-300 people attended.
