Greek Celebration and Protest in Boston

I stumbled upon what looked like a Greek celebration while strolling through Boston this Sunday morning. However, many of the groups in this procession also seemed to be protesting. Signs held included calls for:

- Independence of Macedonia
- Separation of Macdenonia
- Recognition of a Greek minority
- Recognition of killings in 1922 as genocide (see photo)

I had no idea the Greeks had so many issues. Maybe I forgot many of my history lessons from grade and high school. While growing up I went to Greece several times and remember nothing but peace loving people.
