Boston Common, April 22,1965. Photographer Unknown. On the day of the march, April 22, 1965, an unknown woman (on left in photo above) approached Marash Girl (on right): "I'm half Armenian," she said. "May I march with you?" Together the two women carried the sign pictured here, marching from Cambridge to the Boston Common. The sign announced, "Armenians for Freedom for All!" N.B.
