The turnout was smaller than the tens of thousands of demonstrators forecast by organizers of the "Millions for Reparations" movement.

Let's see...they say "millions" on their website.

The organizers predict "tens of thousands."

This article says "thousands."

AP says "hundreds."

Watching the rally on TV, I thought they had "dozens."

I caught one of the speakers--they listed him as co-chairman--say that 900 buses came to the rally. Just doing a little quick math & giving the benefit of the doubt by using the 3000 figure, that means that each bus held 3.3 people.

That's a waste of a lot of good diesel.
