WASHINGTON, DC -
They came by the tens of thousands to reflect on the 1963 March on Washington 50 years later.
The crowd of more than 100,000 that overflowed along the reflecting pool represented every slice of american life.
"I was a little boy back in 1963, and I said then, I want to be a part of history like that, and here I am," Curtis Davis of California said.
Speaker after speaker reminded the throngs why this anniversary was so important to recognize.
" We come to our nation's capital to reflect on mistakes of the past, the progress that's been made, and the
dynamic transformation of this country," a voice announced over the loud speaker.
But unlike the 1963 march where nearly every sign said "March for jobs and freedom", this time around there were many more issues people were passionate about, like voting rights, immigration reform,
"There must be equality for our children of the future," Veronica Murrain of Atlanta Georgia said.
"No profiling for our children."
Georgia Congressman John Lewis, one of the last of the major speakers from the 1963 rally who is still alive today, urged the crowd to fight the Supreme Court decision that nullified much of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
" I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma Alabama, and I am I not going to stand by and let them take the
right to vote away from us,"Lewis said.
Keynote speaker Al Sharpton told the crowd there is much more to do in the areas of jobs and equality, and giving a hand to those who need it.
" They have money to bail out the banks, They have money for the one percent," Sharpton says. "If they can't take care Headstart and our government workers, we're going to make them
close down the bank."
As the day wore on, one message seemed to resonate with many who came to Washington 50 years later--they need to keep on marching.
" It's going to be hard. It may take another 50 years, but every little bit helps," a UAW member who made the trip from Saginaw Michigan said.
Retired history teacher and NEA member Eric Klugel who was here 50 years ago and again today.. put it in perspective.
" The March energized people back then to try and make government work for them," Klugel says. " Maybe this March
will have the same effect."
A message John Lewis delivered with the same heat today.. as he did in 1963.
" I got arrested 40 times during the 60's, beaten and left bloodied and unconscious," he said. "But I'm not tired. I am ready to fight and continue to fight, and you must fight."
President Obama will speak at a ceremony on the actual day of the anniversary of the I have a Dream Speech, Wednesday, August 28th.

Come On
They came by the tens of thousands to reflect on the 1963 March on Washington 50 years later.
The crowd of more than 100,000 that overflowed along the reflecting pool represented every slice of american life.
Now really how many people was there? Tens of thousand, maybe 2 thousand or 100,000 plus?
By the picture at least more than 1, still a lot Negros just walking around. I would have went but DC won't allow me to conceal carry. I will never disarm my self around a bunch of Negros the way they are killing white folk just for any reason, especially being bored.
Please store up your ammo.

Local news channels showed the march from the Lincoln Memorial
to the Capitol and I saw the red flags of the Socialist Workers
Party, Occupiers, La Raza, the usual suspects. I also had the
impression that Trayvon Martin must be some kind of national hero.
Bullshit too all that.

The niggers are completely out of control and hopefully even the blindest liberal white guilt morons are finally waking up to the monster they have helped create.
What are these monkeys marching for now?
More racist legislation to help wannabe thugs get jobs they are unqualified for?

So Glad I don't Live in VA where it seems a lot of White Racists live and post like the very trolls they are; these posts are so filled with hatred that it sickens me and I'm white! Not that it MATTERS what color someone is, what the fuck is wrong with the lot of you? Go look at yourselves in the mirror.
