40 years from Lincoln’s steps

Although classes had begun only a day earlier, Georgetown students eager to celebrate Thursday’s 40th anniversary commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, formed a line that quickly wound around the Village C staircase.

Buses that could hold only 25 people came and went on 15-minute intervals, frustrating the growing crowd of students.
