   I got your civil rights at the end of my gun barrel, niggers.   
      
   WASHINGTON -- Nearly 50 years after the March on Washington for   
   Jobs and Freedom, tens of thousands of Americans once again   
   converged on the National Mall on Saturday to hear leaders and   
   activists speak from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.   
      
   Families set up picnic blankets and chairs under the trees to   
   escape the beating sun. Groups with matching T-shirts and signs   
   brought their demonstrations into the crowd.   
      
   But as the anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s   
   stirring civil rights address approaches, the message at this   
   rally extended beyond economic and racial equality.   
      
   Saturday, activists and marchers rallied around calls for   
   immigration reform, gay rights, education, gender equality,   
   voting rights, gun control and more.   
      
   Carrying a sign that said, "CEO: $7,000/hour. Teacher:   
   $19.42/hour. Absurd," Michael Gross was stopped repeatedly by   
   people who took his picture or let out an "Amen!"   
      
   The university professor from North Carolina, whose parents were   
   both teachers, was demonstrating against recent funding cuts to   
   education in his state.   
      
   "This whole disparity is incredibly dangerous to our democratic   
   republic," he said. "We are only as strong as our educational   
   institutions."   
      
   For many attendees, the issues of the original march still   
   strongly resonated.   
      
   "This is pretty much a reflection of where we were 50 years   
   ago," said Linda Lydia, who had taken an overnight bus from   
   Dallas with her local NAACP chapter. African Americans are   
   "still faced with joblessness. We're still confronted with   
   employment issues of being the last hired and the first fired."   
      
   "We're moving backward as we're moving forward," she said.   
      
   Despite the emphasis on progress that still needed to be made,   
   the mood of the day was often celebratory.   
      
   "People don't usually speak to you in D.C., and they're speaking   
   today," said Kyiefa Jones, a local resident.   
      
   Unable to hear the speeches, she had decided to help pass out   
   free water bottles to other attendees.   
      
   "There's a camaraderie," she said. "It's beautiful."   
      
   Welcome to America.  It's a nigger infested slum.
