The thousands gathered for the 57th March on Washington on the National Mall on Friday heard civil rights leaders call for policy reform and civic engagement. Though for some, the message from the day’s speakers did not match the urgency of the moment

. The disconnect reveals a growing tension between veteran organizers and younger grassroots protesters, one that the civil rights movement has navigated for decades.

“I feel like the system, no matter what we do, how we vote, at the top — it doesn’t matter. It needs to be abolished and made into something new. Because what we have right now is not working. They say, ‘left-wing’, ‘right-wing’, it’s all the same bird.” “A lot of times what winds up happening is that there's just kind of simmering tensions and these feelings of a lack of respect and feelings that your methods aren't really being supported,” Albright said.

Speakers harkened back to the Civil Rights Act of 1965, which was made possible, in part, by the original March on Washington in 1963., who died in July, was the last living speaker at that march, which was organized by A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin and featured Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Sharpton, who was molded in the same activist tradition, emphasized that organizers hoped to achieve the same kind of policy outcome as the event’s original planners.

Even as different generations of organizers debate tactics, there remains a sense of community and understanding about the common goals of the movement — and the life-and-death consequences of what it is pushing for.

So it's okay to gather in groups more than 10 now? I can go to church? I can go to a funeral? Wow. I must have missed the memo.

'Civil rights movement'? 'Civil'? NO! 'Rights'? NO! 'Movement'? NO! The 'movement' has become something DIFFERENT. It has become CREEPY.

Where is s the me too movement? Black has raised over 3million! The left is disgusting

March for something liberals like = good and safe; gathering for President Trump = bad and anti-science. Got it. FakeNewsMedia

BLM wants to dismantle the family, yet MLB NBA NFL kisses their ass. Why? Uneducated posers.

Should be able to vote in person then...

I think George Floyd's brother was ready to pass out from the heat. No one had water bottles. Many of them looked effected by the heat and humility.

Stop calling murderers 'vigilantes'

I thought these morons what everyone locked up at home never to see the light of day until after the election when the savior Biden is elected.

Because we don't have a racism problem in this country. The march was a total waste of time. Focus on keeping the family unit whole and educating on proper parenting.

For the liberal democrat elites Police reform is making Antifa the new national police force. They are the new SS of the democrat(BLM) party not to protect the public from crime but to insure that the democrat party has total political power for ever.

We need 10 Million people march in Washington DC to demand police reform, a meaningful reform, not Tim Scott's joke and drama. TimScott SenatorTimScott

Will these folks be voting in person also?

Media foments anti-police rhetoric at great harm to minorities. Cities need the Rule of Law & police protection to thrive. If not, the MS-13 violent drug gangs take over & destroy minority communities. In 2019, 9 blacks were killed by police, 89 police were killed on duty.

Super spreader event

How many thousands?

Mark my words, if Trump wins it’s because of the antifa/ BLM rioters and looters ruining important swing states cities’ and subsequent businesses

The speech was so damning, though, that other leaders asked Lewis to tamp it down. BrandonTensley BrandonTensley Exactly.
