March 2006 LAUSD student walkouts

The third day of the walkouts, aides of Antonio Villaraigosa escorted representatives of half a dozen high schools to meet with the Los Angeles mayor.

California Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante addressed the crowd, telling the demonstrators that they were sending a powerful and important message to Washington.

The local Spanish-language radio personalities, led by Eddie "el Piolín" Sotelo of 101.9 KSCA-FM, all began promoting the rally on their programs.

With the American national anthem playing in the background, a promo airing during Antonio Gonzalez's En el Medio program on KMXE-AM 830 told listeners: "We are all committed to the Grand March of the People!"

Spanish media giant Univision, which owns the largest network audiences in Los Angeles in any language, also kept running its rally promo.
