On February 8th, Muslims from over a dozen ethnicities marched to commemorate the 40th day after the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him).  Although the protest took place in Dearborn Michigan, many of the marchers were from Canada, Ohio, New York and other regions and traveled to join their brothers and sisters in commemorating the legacy and upholding the banner of Imam Hussain and humanity.

Below are images from the procession. Organizers have put the size of the crowd between three to five thousand individuals:

I think holding up a few informative signs in the English language would be greatly helpful to those who do not speak Arabic/Urdu/Farsi.

Majority of the people passing by in cars and getting that quick glance would probably be curious as to why there is a painting of a decapitated man on one of the signs.

We can do a much better job of informing the general public.
