The highlight of the rally for respect was the speech given by a McKinley high school student known as Ike (pronounced EK) who was a co-leader in organizing the student protests against DC teacher layoffs. His speech was awesome as he encouraged the audience to resist the forces of tyranny. E.K. was articulate, self-confident and inspiring to what turned out to be a mostly adult crowd. The crowd at Freedom plaza let out a roar in response to E.K.'s comments about the student meeting with the McKinley Tech. high school principal, David Pinder.
