A great day for a duck race: Syracuse Inner Harbor

Louisville, KY may have the Derby, but in Syracuse we have the Duck Race.

Here are some photographs from today’s 13th Annual Duck Race to end Racism, sponsored by Interfaith Works. The event took place at the Inner Harbor Pavilion; the race started at the Kirkpatrick entrance of Onondaga Creek.
