Three hundred people gathered at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs Wednesday, August 28 to mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, including some Minnesotans who attended the march 50 years ago. Panelists included Vice President Walter Mondale, Dr. Josie Johnson, Reverend Rolland Robinson, U.S. Representative Keith Ellison, Professor Nekima Levy-Pounds, State Representative Frank Hornstein, and Professor Samuel L. Myers, Jr. The Humphrey School co-hosted the event with the African American Leadership Forum.
