In honor of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington

I'm posting this video for its images of just why that march occurred as well as the message of its music. Are things better now? Yes and no. The drug war and now GOP disenfranchisement are trying to roll back the clock. I have to think these things are just temporary and that they will be seen as spiteful little bumps in the way instead of complete roadblocks by future historians.
