On August 28th, I had the privilege of waiting in the rain, fighting the crowds, and being at the Lincoln Memorial for the 50th anniversary of March On Washington. This is the march that culminated with Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech. In addition to other notable speakers like Jamie Foxx, Oprah Winfrey, and King's surviving relatives, three United States Presidents made remarks on this Occasion. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama weighed in on civil rights progress in the last 50 years and their vision for continued progress in the future. Despite the rain and the wait for security, it was great to be at this celebration during one of my first days in DC.
