My parents were “Ann Arbor Hippies” having their 1st child @ 22 & 23.
They could not afford to attend & the logistics…impossible.
They helped organize (they were poor, living in HUD housing)…
& donated what they could.
Yrs later they marched in the “Great March”!
(2nd #MarchOnWashington for Lesbian & Gay Rts.
It was a large political rally that took place in DC, on Oct 11, 1987.
Its success, size, scope, & historical importance is why it’s #thegreatmarch

I think about how my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandma probably got told she had to start walking directly South as part of #TheGreatMarch. I know she didn't go farther than Brooklyn and married a British Man. Her daughter, my Great-Great-Great Grandma fell in love with a dapper Italian off the boat. This I know. Are we America? Yea and we will *always* hate Nazis and the rest is nunya business. #NativeAmerican #NewYork
