Famous historical examples are that of priest Gapon organized protest march to the Winter Palace of the Tsar at St. Petersburg Bloody Sunday in 1905, the star march 1968 at Bonn in response to the '68 movement on the federal government adopted emergency legislation or the protest march 1963 at Washington , in which about 250,000 US -Americans demonstrated against racism .
