Nice pike! You guys have some good fishing up there in Minnesota. I used to fish the Susquehanna River here with my 17-foot Grumman Eagle canoe and a trolling motor. Walleye and bass were fun, but the biggest catch was from shore: a 42-inch pike caught about 11 p.m. on a half-dead bass minnow. Thought it was a submerged limb until it got near shore and began moving. Weighed only 11 pounds but it won the pike category in Dick's fishing contest that year. All the best...Bill

A contingent of native Americans joined the Poor People's Campaign in Washington in 1968 to raise economic and social issues facing tribes around the country. Here, the demonstrators sit-in at the U.S. Supreme Court protesting the court's decision in a fishing-rights case in the state of Washington. Comments and critiques are always welcomed. Thanks..Bill

In the spring of 1968, shortly after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, thousand's of the nation's poor responded to the slain civil rights leader's call to action and marched into Washington, DC, to demand that their government do something about the country's festering poverty. Mrs. Augusta Denison, of Marks, Mississippi, seen here with three of her seven children, was one of the respondents to Dr. King's call. Comments and critiques are always welcomed. Thanks...Bill

Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis on April 4, 1968, a short time before he was to lead the march into Washington of his Poor People's Campaign, a gathering of thousands who would live on the mall in an encampment called "Resurrection City" and visit government agencies to demand action against poverty. Here, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, who succeeded Dr. King as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, escorts King's widow, Coretta Scott King, around the plywood "city." Next year, I was reminded recently, marks the 50th anniversary of the Poor People's Campaign. Time flies, but poverty, we can agree, persists. Comments and critiques are always welcomed. Thanks...Bill
