From Virginia State Senator Janet Howell (D-Fairfax/Arlington):

Yesterday marked the 57 year anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. This was when Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. called for reforms decades ago in his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

I was there that day and during yesterday’s Legislative Special Session, I shared a Point of Personal Privilege on my experience.

Our country is again facing a crisis. We have to look positively to the future – this is our opportunity to do something truly significant for Virginia. There is still so much work to be done. Let’s do it.
