It moves to Asheville, then Charlotte. Then some sort of tie-in to the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.

I've read many different estimates, ranging from "more than 2,500" from the Capitol police, to 14,000. Most estimates are between 8,000 to 9,000. This was only my 6th Moral Monday, but I can say that I would estimate the crowd, personally, at 3 times the biggest crowd that I've attended (3,000 was the biggest before this week). Definitely HUGE, and definitely invigorating. Now, into the districts. Stay tuned.
