Longview’s second Cultural Diversity Celebration March will begin 9 a.m. Saturday at the Lower Columbia College parking lot on Maple Street.

Organizers said they wanted to follow up a December march — aimed at protesting a small white supremacist rally in the city — with a regular event to show the community values its diversity.

Saturday’s event is in conjunction with the Ethnic Support Council’s International Festival, which begins at 10 a.m. in the LCC student Center.

From the LCC Maple Street Parking lot, marchers will walk westward on Olympia Way, then turn back east on Ocean Beach Highway and return to the LCC Student Center along 15th Avenue.

Banners are encouraged, organizers said, and some will be provided. Marchers are expected to stay on sidewalks.

" Aren't we supposed to show up at 8 am to register? This would be helpful to know if it's accurate. Please clarify. Thanks! "

" Absolutely disgusting. The previous story regarding this "event" collected a lowly 35 remarks. It is obvious that the local community care's little about this. Does this "event" truly represent diversity, or does it merely represent what it's supporters, along with TDN, define as "diversity?" It is unbelievable to think that our coummunity would happily welcome certain members of our community while barring others - as the supporters of the previous "march" did. In fact, this event seems to have been purposely timed in conjunction with the "Ethnic Support Council" event to welcome illegal aliens into our community. That our community would allow this is beyond reproach. "
