The marches in Albany concentrated on city hall where they had little leverage and no votes. "All of our marches in Albany," said Martin, "were to the city hall trying to make them negotiate, where if we had centered our protests at the businesses in the city, {we could have} made the merchants negotiate. And if you can pull them around, you pull the political power structure because the political power structure listens to the economic power structure.
