To herald its coverage of yesterday’s 50th Anniversary Of The March On Washington, The Washington Post uses one of the most beautiful sentences ever written by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.:  “The arc of moral history is long, but it bends toward justice.”  Along with the ever-present images of Trayvon Martin, it was a reminder of the seriousness of the occasion.

But yesterday’s march was as much filled with joy as protest.  And there were reminders of how far as a nation we have come in 50 years.

Even as folks hawked photos of icons to the large, friendly crowd.

For many members of the largely African-American crowd, it was like a family reunion.  It was a really lovely day.
