Moving and beautifully written and I think, had we not known it was Glenn, then by the end of the first paragraph we would have known as it's so completely 100% his voice. My over-riding question is what the hell happened to the children of those "million men"? Glenn writes of the demeanor and decency of the people he saw, their interest in visiting art museums and participating, their recognition that (was it Booker T Washington or DuBois who said) "this too is mine". So why are the next generation so hateful and hostile to that culture? Were the men on that march ALSO seeking a father figure?
