Today in class we did a role playing activity about the March on Washington.   I am a elderly African American grandparent. My family works on a farm in Illinois.  My character is not rich but has food to eat.  Even though coming to Washington would be difficult and expensive I would go.  I would go because I believe everyone deserves equal rights.  I also feel that everyone should be able to have jobs and go to the same school no matter what their skin color or gender is.
