On March 4, thousands of people gathered in Canton to “March On Mississippi.” Various news sources cited that between 3,000 and 5,000 individuals converged on Canton with one goal in mind: to show support for and solidarity with workers fighting for the right to join a union and for a safe working environment. The March On Mississippi was organized and sponsored by the Mississippi Alliance for Fairness at Nissan and supported by the United Auto Workers (UAW) national union.
