In The News: 50 Years Ago...


Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historical “I Have a Dream” speech.

The 50th anniversary will be commemorated in D.C. and is being billed as a gathering for those with unfinished business: immigrant, gay-rights and labor groups, the unemployed, the underemployed, the disenfranchised. Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, will speak, as will Lynda Johnson Robb, the daughter of President Lyndon Johnson. Other speakers include Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx, President Obama and former Presidents Clinton and Carter.

I wish I could be there.
