50 Years Ago Today (8/28): The March on Washington

August 28 is the 50th anniversary of the March on the Mall in Washington, featuring the famous MLK Jr. speech "I have a dream..."

There was a re-creation (sort of) of the event earlier today on the Mall, including appearances by the President, as well as a couple former Presidents, and a few others. Despite the US Open rain delays, I managed to see some of it.

Free at last, free at last. God Almighty, free at last.

See! Old Men Can Fight!

This past week, prior to the 99th Grey Cup, it seems that Joe Kapp and Angelo Mosca don't want to let go of their past as rivals.



This dated back to a play back in the 1963 Grey Cup between the Ti-Cats and Lions. The rest is history. Mosca would go to a pro wrestling career through several territories and the Worldwide Wrestling Federation (WWWF).
