This was in October 30, 2008, Archives section of the Advance, 50 Years Ago column. Look how far we've come in fifty years!

Saturday.

Norm,

Thanks for sending this. It is amazing that these two things (newspaper clip, and the ELECTION!!!) come so close together. The youth march was kind of a warmup/precursor for the March on Washington when King gave his famous speech. I'll never forget that bus ride to the first march, and the events of both marches.

What a time this will be, as we help create the changes needed in our country, and the world. It's still sinking in!

Mitch
