*PLEASE NOTE: The U.S. Parks Service has adjusted their estimate of the number of people — they now report that approximately 1.2 million people attended the March on Washington!!!
“A sea of people as far as the eye could see stretched from the Capitol to the White House today…”
Here is video coverage from MSNBC. NBC’s “own people” say at least “Hundreds of Thousands”. They had to shut down Pennsylvania Avenue to accomodate people just making their way to the mall.
Good coverage, IMHO — except for the differences on how many are reported as being there… Think about it though — the entire mall from the Capitol to the White House FILLED? That’s more than hundreds of thousands, especially if they had to close down Pennsylvania Ave. during it as well… In the UK they are reporting there were up to 2 million in attendance. If you look at this picture you will see they are packed in…
The man reporting on it in this video says, “This was a grassroots reunion”
