Interviews, footage, logistics -- my gods, the logistics! of putting that march on gave me goosebumps. Young women staffing the phones, typing their fingers off, handling big stuff. Bio material on Bayard Rustin and the rest.

Now John Lewis stands alone, of all the 10 speakers that were on those steps.

I'm so glad I made the time to watch it.
