As dawn broke across the Mall and participants began to arrive a voter registration drive, left, was already open. Right, flags were highlighted over the marchers all during the day. (95-6691/35a, and 95-6689/23) Photos by Jeff Tinsley
Some of the participants stood silently, others raised hands and clenched fists when Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called on them to, "bring the spirit of God back into your lives". (95-6677/33, and 95-6663/28a) Photos by Richard Strauss and Hugh Talman
