The Daily Drum Women of Justice were in full effect at the recently held 60TH Anniversary, as the March on Washington promoted the National Action Network, heralded by Rev. Al Sharpton. A large crowd attended the Washington rally for equality and justice at the Eclipse in Washington D.C. this weekend. Rev. Al Sharpton was joined by a host of “Who’s Who in Civil Rights”, from Martin Luther King III, Dr. Mark Moriel, and host of civil rights activist groups; ranging from the CNBC (Conference National Black Churches) advocating for the cancellation of student debt, the Alpha’s of Howard’s HBCU campus, LGBTQ human rights activists and many other HBCU’s around the globe.
Unfortunately, the national event was marred by the tragic shooting of three black people in Jacksonville, Fla. in a department store while they shopped for school supplies near the opening of this year’s first day of school. At print time, the Daily Drum had no new details and elected to wait for further developments before adding more, in respect for the families.
