According to the university's Danielle Earls, the float will be carried on two trailers stretching 70 feet and feature a large inflatable globe, a student-built mini-Baja vehicle, a real-time stock ticker and about 40 or so eager students representing GW's nine schools and colleges.
Float construction will commence in early January.
OPPOSING MARCHES
It's worth noting that the annual March for Life, in each of the past several years drawing more than 200,000 pro-life advocates, will be held in Washington Jan. 22 - only two days after pro-choice supporter and President-elect Barack Obama marches in his Inaugural parade to the White House.
The first March for Life was held Jan. 22, 1974, on the West Steps of the U.S. Capitol, attracting an estimated 20,000 pro-life Americans. It has grown in size and scope ever since.
