In Washington DC at the Plymouth Congregational Church, Reverend Hagler (2nd from right) gave a passionate, rousing welcome to the delegates, calling for a united anti-war movement and further solidarity building projects like this tour. As he concluded his speech, all six Iraqi delegates rushed to the stage, embraced the Reverend warmly and grabbed his hands in solidarity and raised them as the crowd roared and rose to its feet. It was a beautiful, moving moment.
