Great Interview with Cheryl Clarke about the March on Washington. That day I was 15, working as a suburban "mother's helper," childcare and housecleaning. I heard the speeches in the afternoon on the radio while I was ironing. The speeches were great, the political event of a lifetime. I promised myself to say YES to any ride to a major demonstration that would ever come along again. That time being 1963, I made good on that promise many times over.
