50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON

Ralph Herbert, Jr., Earnest Herbert, Jr., Aaron Herbert and Christopher Calloway went to Washington, DC on Saturday August 24, 2013.

Ralph reports his experience there was awesome. It was such a good feeling to be there to commemorate the historical event. He says he is proud of how far we’ve come but still there are miles to go. He was very happy to share this experience with at least one of his sons; he wishes his son, Andrew and daughter, Amy had been there also.

Aaron felt it was a definitely an epic experience being there. He always admired Dr. King, what he stood for and his sacrifices to our country. He feels that every African American of all ages should visit the Martin Luther King Memorial. Aaron said he feels so inspired after attending this 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington.

Earnest Herbert and Christopher Calloway were excited and proud to attend such a monumental event also.
