MLK 50th Anniversary March on Washington, DC

 

What a Saturday! Mom and Dad left me, as a toddler, with my Aunt and came to DC to march with MLK, Jr. for the “real” march 50 years ago. I had to experience just a little of what they marched, sat-in at lunch counters, walked instead of rode buses, and went to jail (Dad) for at the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington DC on August 24. To see the MLK Memorial Statue, hear the various groups’ chants, feel the energy, and see the variety of people who came to commemorate and celebrate was a moving experience. These are the photos I took to capture the event.
