Cost Looms High For Rights Trek On Washington
Washington leaders face ballooning costs for the August 28 march on Washington for jobs and freedom. An estimated 100 000 to 250 000 demonstrators will travel to the Lincoln Memorial area. The loudspeaker system quoted at 15 800 dollars highlights funding concerns as organizers expect marchers to cover travel and meals. National groups had budgeted 75 000 dollars but now doubt that was enough.
