The Civil Rights Movement and Dr. King

My father had been communicating with Dr. King and at that time the Vietnam War was robbing the poverty program, he says. He said if you can't separate because that war is robbing the poverty programs at home but also is black people are fighting that war. And when we got to Washington, President Johnson met us there and then Joe Biden drove us in a convoy up past the mall. At that time on the Washington mall there was probably six or seven, maybe 8,000 men and camped. They all came to the sidewalk and they stood with their heads bowed and their hats against their chest. We drove my father up the hill and buried him next to his brother on a nurse mall
