I was up front behind Cindy and Jesse, next to Cornell West. What a day. We came through the trees after we had done the round past the White House and Joan Baez was singing Joe Hill. I swear I thought I had been transported back in time. Lots of young folks that day. I thought they must have experienced something energizing and lasting.
