March on Washington: 1925

Holy crap that's a lot of Ignorant people. That's what the song "Ignorance" is all about. Humans will cure every disease there is but Ignorance.

"KKK parade on Pennsylvania Avenue, August 8, 1925." From the Washington Post's report: "Phantom-like hosts of the Ku Klux Klan spread their white robe over the nation's most historic thoroughfare yesterday in one of the greatest demonstrations this city has ever known. . . . Police estimated that there were 30,000-35,000 in the weird procession -- men, women and children of the Klan."

America, you've come a loooong way.
