I hitch hiked to Washington DC with John Pearson and Rick Friend to attend JFK"s Funeral.
We were so lucky. We got ourselves up to the freeway and got one ride all the way with a physician from Detroit and his sister in a very large car. The three of us sat in the back seat and enjoyed talking all night.
He told us of the difficulties he had as a black man graduating from medical school, and the discrimination he suffered.
Arriving in Washington at 5:03am.( I remember because I saw a digital clock.) Washington was teeming with humanity. We immediately ran berhind the Capitol to get in line for entry into the rotunda, and ran for many blocks passing rows of people, 16 abreast, only to find the line closed. We went back to Pennsylvania Ave and sat on curb to have a front row for the procession.
