On August 28th, thousands of American citizens converged upon Washington, DC, to commemmorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The March on Washington was attended by an estimated 250,000 - 300,000 people of diverse racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds 50 years ago today, August 28, 1963. In the crowd was SC native Norman Deas, a 25-year-old employee of the Federal Housing Authority. Deas, who now lives in Conway, shares his recollections of the march, King's speech, and the aftermath with Bhakti Larry Hough on the current edition of Insight.
