Rallyblog: Crowd grows, in size and excitement

PROVIDENCE -- Within less than a half-hour, the size of a crowd preparing to march on the State House today in support of immigration reforms had grown significantly this afternoon.

Marchers were taking over Broad Street, even as cars continued to drive by. Police were on the scene, on horseback. And a blast of cheers and yells came from hundreds of throats as the group prepared to step off.

The festive mood had become one of excitement as the flag-waving throng started the third in a series of events in Providence as part of a nationwide demonstration.
