May 6 Protests (And Elian a Political Pawn of Democratic Supporters?)

Jesus Pita, of West New York, N.J., joins fellow Cuban-Americans in a protest against the federal goverment's handling of the Elian Gonzalez case at the Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J., Saturday, May 6, 2000. The group chose the location near Ellis Island because Attorney General Janet Reno was to receive the Ellis Island Medal of Honor Saturday at another location in the park.
