Marking eight years of war in Afghanistan, students gather in Washington to dance in protest

Marking the eighth anniversary of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan, more than 100 college and high school students went on a “Funk the War” dance protest through the financial district in Washington on Wednesday. Hosted by the local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, the dancers shimmied past a handful of buildings they considered threats to the peace movement, among them an Army recruiting station and Clear Channel’s office. via Medill News Service DC
