Countdown to the 50^th Anniversary Commemoration of the historic March on Washington

“Slowly the tempo rose.  By 10, the inpouring was tremendous.  This went on for two hours.  The great crush of humanity on the monument grounds spilled over…and edged westward like a great lava flow.”

-Joseph A. Loftus, New York Times
