“About two it was
really blizzarding, and I was going to say, ‘No I’m not going,’ but its important to celebrate what Dr. King stood for and the things that he struggled for. Despite the fact that we have an African-American president, there are still a lot of racial issues in this country.
“The work of Dr. King is still very, very important to pursue.”

Arien LoulawonBenin, Africa“I was surprised, that was my first march of [Dr.] Martin Luther King [Jr.] and I was really impressed that people actually came out. You would have to be really determined to do something in this weather.”
