I couldn't find a video of the Opening Ceremonies in Hollywood. This is all I could locate, a short video of some of the speakers,
including Mayor Eric Garcetti and Ru Paul. Cheyenne Jackson sang the national anthem, but not on this video.

We are wearing army green t-shirts that say REIST MARCH 06-11-17 and carrying signs. Also wearing hats and tan shorts/slacks. This is on a section
of Sunset Blvd. between La Brea and Fairfax.
