Tavis Smiley on the 50th anniversary celebration of the March on Washington: “It was a great day… but…”

On the heels of Wednesday’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, “Piers Morgan Live” invited Tavis Smiley to offer his perspective on today’s ceremony as well as Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I have a dream” speech.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

I agree with Mr. Smiley. One of my pet peeves is hearing politicians talk about helping the middle class, while as the same time, not mentioning the poor and working class – as if they don’t matter or don’t exist.
