Columbia, Mo – Ever since the war in Iraq began three years ago, protests against the conflict have been a common sight around Columbia from the local post office to the street corners downtown to spots on the MU campus. A movement has even begun protesting the protestors. However, this weekend marked the third anniversary of the war a milestone that led many anti-war protestors to gather at Columbia's Courthouse Square. KCUR and Walt Bodine Show producer Hayley Salvo collected sounds from the event with KBIA.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
