I’ve uploaded some of the speeches that I recorded yesterday at the March on Washington. They are not bad considering I was standing amongst a crowd of over 200,000. It’s just over 60 minutes long and includes the speeches of Rev. Jesse Jackson, , Jane Fonda, AFL-CIO’s Fred Mason, Clayola Brown, Pres. of A. Philip Randolph Institute, Representatives Maxine Waters, Lynn Woolsey, Dennis Kucinich and John Conyers. There are also speeches from representatives of Military Families Speak Out, United for Peace and Justice, and Iraq Veterans against the War. Plus it includes one of the best speeches of all - that from 12-year-old Moriah Arnold.
