"The March" - PBS show about the 1963 March on Washington
Excellent program. I just watched it and recommend it to everyone.
I was too young in 1963 to really understand what was going on that day, though I remember the trepidation of white people in my little Southern town about what might come of that march. They expected riots and violence, since their experience was based on the treatment of civil rights marchers by Southern law enforcement.
I don't think the white people I knew really listened to the words said that day or learned what they should have from the people who gathered in Washington that day. If they had, we would not still have the racism and the subjugation of people we do today. Instead they were waiting for the expected violence. They lost a chance to make this country better and stronger.
Watch the program if it is shown in your area. Here, it will rerun Sunday evening.

William must have marched on Washington before he invaded England.
Just kidding!
