        That looks like a bigger crowd than attended Trump’s inauguration.

        I'm thinking this crowd is larger than Trump's inauguration as well.

        It was the first time I saw my people on tv, singing songs we sang at church, saying words I'd heard at church. I was a little girl who thought I'd seen the beginning of something different.

        It was a hot Summer day in Kansas City, MO, where I sat, cross-legged on the floor in front of our console, black and white TV, to see if I could pick out my Dad, amongst the thousands who Marched on Washington.

        That speech was an awakening for me. I was just coming of age, just realizing life was not all "Leave it to Beaver," that there was stuff needed fixing. But I thought "we can do this! We can make this country better! Then came Nov 22. It's been downhill since.pic.twitter.com/bAEGF6H70J

        During the March on Washington on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. It was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement. https://youtu.be/I47Y6VHc3Ms  #MLK #IHaveADream

        My dad, Rev. Graydon E. McClellan, was one of a large group of NY clergy who went to Washington for the march. What an incredible experience it was for him to be a part of that historic day!

        On this day, 1963, people of color could not get a hotel room or eat in a restaurant in many places of "public accommodation" throughout the South, and the not so south. ---- Love to ask Trump, "What the fuck is so great about America? And when?" > Civil Rights Act, not 'til 1964

        1967, upstate New York, my brother was killed in a car crash. He had black pallbearers. For a time, I grew up in the hood. We had family friends of all colors. I've seen my father physically throw people out the front door if they use a racial or ethnic epithet of any kind.
