Hundreds flocked to Esther Short Park for the 19th annual Peace and Justice Fair on Saturday, undeterred by the yellow haze and smoke that made your eyes water and the back of your throat burn slightly.
The fair showcases, among other things, the work of social justice groups, faith communities and environmental activists, in addition to live performances and re-enactors portraying historical figures like Jane Addams and Harriet Tubman.
