(22,308 posts)It looks like we will miss each other by a few days. The GSWS starts on the 26th and although the MLK anniversary is the 28th I planned my vacation around the March on the 24th. I did this before I heard that Pres. Obama will be making a speech from the MLK memorial on the 28th.
I did this pretty much as soon as Rev. Sharpton announced his plans for the march. I really should have waited and took the next week off. Oh well.. whats done is done.
Anyways, if you make it to the Mall on the 24th I should be easy to find.. just look for the 24''X48'' banners that look like these....
