"CHICAGO - It was a long bus ride to Washington for the 55 riders on Chicago's Community Bus #2.

The racial, ethnic and age diversity of the bus riders was striking, and many took note of its importance.

As they traveled the 16-hour trip to D.C., between watching DVDs bus riders told their stories about why they were making the journey. They had job creation and racial unity on their minds. They were marching for "hope, not hate."

They also had another challenge in mind: apathy."
