50th anniversary march: tens of thousands attend

[Big Money]

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall Saturday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington.


Speakers managed to sneak in a plug on behalf of a variety of progressive causes. Women's reproductive rights, gay rights, climate change, public education, organized labor, gun violence, immigration reform, student loan debt forgiveness - all received an airing during the speeches, making the rally something of a clarion call for left-wing activism.

Only tens of thousands? Are CBS & the Boston Globe racist?

Tens of thousands of people marched to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and down the National Mall on Saturday, commemorating the 50th anniversary of King’s famous speech and pledging that his dream includes equality for gays, Latinos, the poor and the disabled.

Sadly, even today there are too many Americans who see equality for all as a bad thing.

You can still embrace Dr. Kings dream of judging people by heir accomplishments instead of their skin color.
