You know you're in DC when...

You know you're in D.C. when you're going to the National Mall to hear THREE presidents speak.

Tomorrow marks the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington as well as Martin Luther King's "I have a dream..." speech. Unfortunately, I missed the actual march due to an event associated with American University. However, with class cancelled tomorrow, my room mate, and fellow program students are all heading into the city to hear President Obama, Clinton, and Carter speak to commemorate the historical event.


The opportunity to hear three presidents speak is amazing enough without the added effect of being able to celebrate a wonderful feat! As someone who did not experience the civil right movement, I can't believe it has only been 50 years since the march. But then again, its crazy to think that it has already been 50 years and there are still cases of racism throughout the United States, and the world as well.

I hope I'm alive to see a time where even discussing race is so irrelevant; because no one will even regard it as an issue.

Can't wait to experience history tomorrow!
