Description of Pictures: NOTE: So, no, I didn't actually get into the rally or the march. I waited in a line that looked like it was at least 7 blocks long. After an hour, by 10am I had advanced at best two blocks. Doing the math, it was clear that I wasn't going to get in for the rally (11am - 1pm). The march (1pm - 3pm) would have meant waiting another 3 hours so I gave up and went home. I was happy taking public folk pictures though.
On Aug. 28, marchers are expected to walk down the sides of the reflecting pool and gather at the Lincoln Memorial, according to the application. They will continue south to Independence Avenue and march to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
Details of the Aug. 28 rally for criminal justice revisions — the “Get Your Knee Off Our Necks” march — have begun to crystallize in recent days as the Rev. Al Sharpton announced a lineup of speakers and the NAACP unveiled plans Monday to supplement the protest with three days of digital programming meant to reach those unable to attend the march.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NECKS_200828_003.JPG: Lawn chairs, BTW, were prohibited at the event but things kept changing so I have no idea if they stuck to that rule.
2. NECKS_200828_050.JPG: This was my first exposure to the line to get in. They were requiring a temperate scan and a wristband. But this line went all the way down to... probably the Einstein memorial and then wrapped back again.
3. NECKS_200828_056.JPG: And the line kept going.
4. NECKS_200828_064.JPG: So the line in the foreground went down to probably the Einstein memorial before it joined the main one on Constitution Avenue. The line behind them was the end of the line to reach this middle of the line.
5. NECKS_200828_133.JPG: My favorite picture from hanging out around the Get Your Knee Off Our Necks march (the anniversary event for the famous 1963 March on Washington) was this couple. The couple -- Marvin-Alonzo Greer and Cheyney McKnight -- looked at photos from the 1963 march and decided to dress for that one. Marvin had made his poster based on pictures he had seen at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and Cheyney's pennant was the same. They both sported (copies?) of buttons from that March. Except for the masks (which I was glad they wore), the only real difference is that pretty much every photo I remember of the 1963 march was in black and white.

(Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
