On Monday, January 17, 2011, peace and social justice activists honored Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by staging a spirited demonstration in front of the national headquarters of the FBI, in Washington, D.C. to demand the FBI keep its "hands off our activists." This is in reference to recent FBI harassment and raids on the homes and offices of antiwar activists in Chicago, Minneapolis and Michigan. They also demanded the release of Bradley Manning, currently imprisoned at the U.S. Marine base at Quantico, Virginia. This video features interviews with Coleen Rowley, Dr. Margaret Flowers, Gael Murphy, Joan Stallard, Malachy Kilbride, Medea Benjamin, Kevin Zeese, Max Obuszewski and Maria Allwine.
