March On Washington

Sixty years ago Clayola Brown was just 15 when she heard legendary radio host Georgie Woods talking about the upcoming March on Washington. She was living in Philadelphia at the time, but knew it would be special and had to go.

"Tell ’em about the dream, Martin!"

Brown saved up babysitting money for the Greyhound bus ticket, snuck out of the house early the morning of Aug. 28, climbed a tree along the National Mall and listened in awe as Martin Luther King Jr. described his vision for the future.
