Traveling to Washington:
On buses, trains, cars, trucks, airplanes, and on foot, people traveled from every state. For many, the journey to Washington was as memorable as the day's events. The organizers had hoped for a diverse crowd and saw their hopes fulfilled. An estimated 250,000 people -- united across race, class, and ideological lines, and representing organizations, unions, churches or simply themselves -- poured into Washington and onto the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial. |
