Across town, several hundred people packed a football field at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School to stage a rally commemorating Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

“We come here because the dream has not been achieved,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, an organizer of the rally. “We’ve had a lot of progress. But we have a long way to go.”

“They want to disgrace this day,” Mr. Sharpton told the crowd, referring to Mr. Beck’s event.

The "Sharpton Pity Party" as one FReeper called it, apparently didn't have much of a turnout.

“several hundred” - Wow! The knee-pad media line had been 3,000.

Must have been a pretty small football field to be "packed" by several hundred people.
