March on Washington

August 28, 2013 is the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington by Martin Luther King, Jr.  and his followers http://50thanniversarymarchonwashington.com/.  This is the march during which he gave his "I Have a Dream" speech http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm.  Tonight, I watched several shows on NPR about this march and this era, including about Robert Kennedy  http://50thanniversarymarchonwashington.com/ and his assassination.  

Lubbock will have a commemorative march on August 28, 2013.  I would like to participate. I turned my ankle on Sunday, August 25, 2013, and I am not sure I can  make the march.  It is my hope that a large contingency of Anglo Lubbock citizens will join this march.  I suspect I will be disappointed.
