Resident recalls August 1963 March on Washington

Freddie, a Jennings resident, recalls the March on Washington in 1963 as a beautiful momentous day. He lived close, but he remembers joining thousands of people who "came from all over the place" and were eager to take part.

He notes that when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, it gave him the feeling of belonging. "It was one of the moments of my life I'll always remember."
