Walking on the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, I pass by the gospel lady who is wearing ear phones and singing a soft and mournful song. Closer I can hear it is "We Shall Overcome".
A little girl with her father is picking flowers. I pick some grape cluster shaped kudzu blossoms and give them to her.
The bicycle rider passes by just chanting one time, "Walking the Dog" but not singing it.
I the car, I listen to parts of the "I had a dream" speech, ending with "Let Freedom Ring....Free at Last, Great God Almighty, Free at Last".
Then Pete Seeger singing his version of "We shall Overcome" and then Patti Griffin's "Up To the Mountain", the MLK song.
