By the Liberty Bell, speakers (including our own Hugh Taft-Morales, see video of his speech below) emphasized the importance of securing free and fair elections in American for all, not only the wealthy. Marchers then journeyed from Philadelphia to Delaware, then Maryland, and finally Washington DC, where more activities will take place until April 18.

It's not a fixed set of beliefs, but it's a learning environment where children are encouraged to think for themselves, to think critically and think ethically." ... See MoreSee Less

Richard Wright (1908-1960), was a Black novelist a Richard Wright (1908-1960), was a Black novelist and author.

In his memoir “Black Boy,” Wright wrote, “Before I had been made to go to church, I had given God’s existence a sort of tacit assent, but after having seen his creatures serve him at first hand, I had had my doubts. My faith, as it was, was welded to the common realities of life, anchored in the sensations of my body and in what my mind could grasp, and nothing could ever shake this faith, and surely not my fear of an invisible power.”
