Hundreds of people protesting cuts in the state budget for education march across the 16th Street Viaduct on Saturday in Milwaukee. The rally started at MacDowell Montessori School, N. 17th St. and W. Highland Blvd., and ended at Forest Home Elementary School, S. 15th St. and W. Forest Home Ave. The viaduct, known as the James E. Groppi Unity Bridge, was the site of civil rights marches led by Father Groppi during the 1960s
