The Latino leadership of Dallas, Texas organized a march in 2006 that drew between 400,000 and 500,000 people. Imagine their disappointment Sunday when they didn't get anywhere close to that kind of turnout in 2017.

Crowd sizes are notoriously difficult to estimate (just ask Sean Spicer, whose first duties as White House Press Secretary included reprimanding the press for under-reporting the size of the crowd at President Donald Trump's inauguration). So how many people did show up at the inaccurately named "Mega March?"

The march, which took protestors from downtown Dallas to City Hall, gave marchers the opportunity to demand respect and rights for the city's immigrant population. Before the march even started, organizers guessed 100,000 might show up -- a fraction of the turnout from previous events. After the event, however, they said it might have been around 20,000. The Dallas police thought even that number was way too high, because they estimated only about 3,200 people marched and went to the rally.  This is what it looked like from the ground:

Notice anything interesting about what everyone's wearing? Interestingly, the attendees were given instruction on how to dress, what types of flag to wave, and what not to say. They were told to wear red, white and blue, to refrain from waving any flag that wasn't American, and not to mention the name of Donald Trump. 

Regardless of their patriotic clothing and American flags, the turnout had to be a major disappointment to organizers. "Weird," Glenn Reynolds wrote. "I thought the Trump presidency was supposed to energize Latinos in opposition."
