WASHINGTON — Across town from the National Mall, several hundred people packed a high school football field to commemorate the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
“We come here because the dream has not been achieved,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, an organizer of the rally. “We’ve had a lot of progress. But we have a long way to go.”
Sharpton said it didn’t matter that Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin spoke from the very spot where King addressed the March on Washington in 1963.
“We can dream anywhere we are,” Sharpton said. “We can dream from hospital beds. We can dream from jail cells. We don’t need to stand on the spot.”
