Gainesville residents are following their own paths to celebrate today’s 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech, including talking about what his words have meant to them through the years. Lula resident Moredcai Wilson was part of the March on Washington in 1963 and said participating was uncertain and scary. But he fought his fear to hear King speak words at the Lincoln Memorial that would propel the fight for civil rights forward.
Kings dream has been fulfilled for some, not for others
