From the pic, it looks like a carefully selected little group there with her. Not a white male to be found! I can’t believe they didn’t get one gay white guy to show up!

Look at the white circle around the Lincoln Memorial. To the right of it, the long horizontal blue bar is the Reflecting Pool. The grassy area around it is called the National Mall. Then to the right of that there is a small brown oval; that is now the WWII Memorial that wasn't there when MLK gave his speech; the Washington Monument is in the next large space to the right (where the word "pages" is superimposed).
When MLK gave his famous speech on the Mall, the stage was placed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, facing eastward across the entire Reflecting Pool towards the Washington Monument and the Capitol in the distance. The Mall was filled with thousands and thousands of people.
A couple of years ago, Glenn Beck had a hugely well-attended Freedom Rally on the Mall, and they placed the stage the same way, with his back to the Lincoln Memorial, and again, the entire Mall was stuffed to overflowing with maybe 500,000 to 600,000 people, IIRC.
It looks to me that with this Rolling Thunder rally, they placed the stage at the end of the Reflecting Pool closest to the Lincoln Memorial and facing the Lincoln Memorial, so that only a few hundreds could fit there, with all that space around the Reflecting Pool empty that could have been filled with the many people waiting to get in.

But they think they can vet 600,000 refugees without documents
No, actually a pair of brass balls may be a good emblem for Mr. Trump.
Check out the COMMENTS from the Morons, on that Site HEH HEH
There was probably some empty space behind the Lincoln Memorial and over the horizon in the background.....
