(Clearwisdom.net) In 1911, the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) was the first university to hold a Homecoming. This tradition has spread throughout the world, but MU still boasts the largest student-run Homecoming activity in the nation. On October 25, 2008, Falun Gong practitioners from Missouri participated in the annual Homecoming Parade at MU.
The parade started at 8:30 in the morning. Following the large banner that read, "Falun Dafa", three practitioners held circular banners that read, "Truthfulness," "Compassion" and "Forbearance." Practitioners performed Tang style drums and demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises on the float.
During the one-and-a-half-hour long parade, practitioners passed out truth-clarifying materials to thousands of spectators.
