Haitians march through the streets of downtown Port-au-Prince the day after soldiers shot into a crowd of peaceful unarmed demonstrators, killing dozens. In protest, the people built small coffins and painted the names of all those killed, marched through the streets after a mass in front of the National Cathedral, and carried them to the cemetery in mock burials.
